What are Elders?
Elders are men who meet the
qualifications found in First Timothy Chapter Three and Titus
Chapter One, and they are selected by members of the congregation to
serve.
Duties of elders
include:
-
Overseeing
the work. Acts 20:28
-
Feeding the flock. Acts 20:28
-
Watching for the souls. Hebrews 13:17
-
Being examples to the flock.
I
Peter 5:3
Each congregation of the Lord’s church
is autonomous (self-governing). We have no earthly
headquarters, but get our instructions from the Bible only.
The elders are held accountable to God
to see that only the Bible is taught for doctrine. All other
doctrine is false, and will cause men to lose their souls.
