Biblically, Elders are shepherds who oversee the church. As shepherds, their leadership role includes feeding the church spiritually, caring for the people especially the sick, guiding the church from dangers and watching over the church to be aware of their health and potential risks.
Their overall purpose is to lead believers to participate in the mission of God.
Elders are individually and collectively accountable for the Church and Ministry activities.
Elders must be a current member of the church.
New nominees must undergo a criminal history check prior to election.
A Nominations Committee will manage the appointment of Elders.
Elders are appointed by a Special Resolution conducted via a postal ballot.
