Elders, Deacons, and Deaconesses
Elders are biblically qualified men (1 Timothy 3:2-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:2-3) who are given the responsibility by the Lord to lead His local church. The main priorities for the elders are studying and teaching the Word of God and praying for the people God has entrusted to their care (Acts 6:1-7; Ephesians 4:11-12; Colossians 1:9-12).
