LEADERSHIP

While we recognize Christ as the only head of the church, the New Testament describes human leadership as a plurality of elders. These men, raised up by the Holy Spirit, and recognized by the body, are to oversee, shepherd and lead the flock both by example and instruction. While we do not recognize any person as “the pastor”, we do recognize the possibility of one or more people being free to serve the body on a full-time basis as the need requires (Acts 6:1-7; 20:17-30; 1 Timothy 3:1-13).
