Biblical Leadership

Biblical eldership is too important to the local church to be muddled in confusion and unscriptural church traditions. According to the New Testament, elders jointly pastor the church, teach the word, protect the church from false teachers, exhort and admonish believers in sound doctrine, pray with the sick, and judge doctrinal issues. In biblical terminology, elders shepherd, oversee, lead, manage, and care for the local church. By developing a healthy eldership, we develop a healthy church.
