MEET OUR ELDERS
The office of elder is given in Scripture to provide spiritual nurture and protection for the church. Elders are to shepherd the flock of Jesus Christ through the faithful ministry of the Word and prayer, and are to lead by godly example.
Elders have a duty to feed and tend the church as shepherds, to guide the body of Christ through faithful teaching, and to protect it from error.
Our Elders welcome hearing from you!
