JESUS IS THE SENIOR PASTOR, THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
Under Jesus, are two leadership offices of the church, elders and deacons. In the New Testament the word elder is synonymous with overseer and pastor. Look at it like this: elders hold the office but what they do is pastor (shepherd) and oversee. According to the Bible, the church is to be led by a plurality of called, qualified men known as elders (Acts 20, 1 Tim 3, 1 Tim 5, Titus 1, 1 Pet 5). Deacons serve the church as needed in a variety of ways. Deacons exists because there are practical things that need to be done and people who need to be served (Acts 6, 1 Tim 3). We are committed to developing leaders in character, competency, compatibility, and capacity so we can install godly elders and deacons .
