Roles of the leadership
We base our church structure off of scripture alone. We believe that God wants His churches to have these roles in leadership:
Elders – Men who have proven themselves above reproach and spiritual leaders in their own households. Their role is to fend off false teaching and guide members of the congregation with wisdom and scriptural insight.
Deacons – Men who have proven themselves above reproach and spiritual leaders in their own households. Their role is to serve the congregation in any capacity which represents the church and relieves others of burdens.
Ministers – Men who dedicate themselves to the word of God and teaching in both public and private.
