What are elders? Sounds kind of creepy, but in scripture they are described as men who take the spiritual leadership of the local church. Throughout history leadership has been abused and neglected and as a result people have mixed emotions towards leadership, however, when it is looked at through a biblical lens it can be really powerful. As of now we are working through a document on discovering the role of an elder. It is a simple document that walks through their description in 1 Timothy 3.
Here is a list of some of the topics we are going through:
How to Stay Strong Spiritually
How to Lead Our Families
How to Lead Incarnationally
Biblical Passages on Eldering
Working With Other Elders
Guarding Our Doctrine & Vision
Confronting Sin In The Body (Church Discipline)
Reproducing Leaders
