Praising God, Proclaiming Jesus,

Drawing People to the Cross.

Our Leadership

We believe the model for leadership put forth by Paul in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 2 is to have the following: 

  • Elders - (also today called shepherds, pastors,overseers) watch over the care of the flock.

  • Deacons - are servants responsible for various areas of the church's work. 

  • Minister - servant whose specific talents are used in administration, teaching, and evangelization.

 

Scripture Concerning Elders: 

"Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproachhusband of one wifetemperateself-controlled, respectable, hospitableable to teach, 3 not given to drunkennessnot violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap." - 1 Timothy 3:1-7

 

Scripture Concerning Deacons:

"8 In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine,and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.  12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus." - 1 Timothy 3:8-10,12-13

 

Scripture Concerning Minister:

"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the wordbe prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all situations, endure hardshipdo the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." - 2 Timothy 4:1-5
