Elder's Ministries
Description
Elders are to oversee the life of the Church with the assistance of trustees and other Godly leaders. They must be people who can “rule well.” Elders are to provide a scriptural role model and set before the congregation an example of a rightly ordered life with one purpose, to glorify God. In addition, they are to engage in activities that promote the church’s mission of making disciples who are Belonging, Growing, Serving and Reaching, both in their personal walk and in their influence over the walk of others. Eders are to pray for the spiritual and physical well-being of members of the congregation. Elders are to confront those who are teaching what they should not teach, refuting those who contradict truth or who are continuing in a pattern of behavior contradictory to biblical truth. Thus, elders are to close potential entrances for Satan, so that the truth of Christ will remain credible to both the congregation and the community. Elders are to protect the church by interceding in and presiding over issues that could serve to cause disharmony or division within its body of believers. They shall help to mediate resolution for issues handed over for their corporate care, consideration and arbitration. Elders shall determine and enforce corporate discipline, as mandated and/or supported by Scripture, for the protection of the church and for the personal benefit of those within its body. Elders are to exhort the Senior Pastor and staff of the church, which includes providing encouragement, comfort, persuasion, counseling, teaching and accountability. Serving in all humility, elders are to guide, direct, guard and protect the members of the body, seeking to meet their needs and assist in any way possible, warning against harmful influences, and guarding against false teaching. The church is to be led by a plurality of godly leaders. Yes, AG Church implements these biblical principles in Our leadership structure.
