Our Pastors/Elders

God’s word instructs churches to maintain two offices. The first office is signified in Scripture by the titles "pastor" (Ephesians 4:11), "elder" (Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 1:1-5), and "overseer" (1 Timothy 3:1-7), and it is to be filled by qualified men who shepherd the church through prayer and the ministry of God's Word.

Our Deacons

The second office that God’s word instructs a church to maintain is the office of deacon. The word “deacon” means servant, and the office of deacon is to be filled by men and women in the church of upstanding character who show themselves to be exemplary in practical service (1 Timothy 3:8-13, Acts 6:1-6).
