Board of Elders

The Church is governed by its Board of Elders. Elders shall be men who meet the scriptural qualifications outlined in I Timothy 3 and Titus 1. They shall have been members of the Church for a time determined by the Board of Elders to be sufficient to know and understand the church vision and to be known within the church leadership. The ministry of the office of Elder shall include, but not be limited to, the following: ability and authority to discharge all ecclesiastical and sacerdotal functions pertaining to the Church. Included in such functions are: baptizing, officiating in marriage ceremonies, conducting funerals, administration of the Lord’s Supper, counseling, preaching and teaching, and conducting the church services and ministries. Elders provide the spiritual and governmental covering for the members of the Church.
