Our Elders

The elders are called to oversee and direct the affairs of the church which is why they are sometimes referred to as ‘overseers.’ (Acts 20:17-38; 1 Tim. 5:17). Passages in Timothy, Titus, and Peter clearly outline the standards required for eldership. Shepherding is a key responsibility for elders (Acts 20:17-38; 1 Pet. 5:1-4). Elders are called to guard, feed, lead, and care for the flock God has placed in their care.

We currently have four elders including our Pastor, but we need more each year for election in December. To become an elder you need to attend meetings months in advance of the election. If you are interested in becoming an elder, please contact the office and leave a message at 352-685-2779.
