Unity of Faith is Governed by Elders. Paul emphasized a plurality of elders in the early church (Titus 1:5; Acts 20:17). An elder is a biblically qualified person who has been trained, examined, and ordained to oversee the affairs of the church. Our church has been blessed with godly elders who shepherd the church willingly, eagerly, and humbly. Learn more ...
