The Office of Elder
Elders share in the governing and ministry of the church of Jesus
Christ. Elders should be persons of faith, dedication and good
judgment. Individually and jointly, elders strengthen and nurture the
faith and life of the congregation. Together with the ministers, they
should encourage the people in worship and the service of God; equip
and renew them for their tasks within the church and for their mission
in the world.
The Office of Deacon
The office as set forth in scripture is one of sympathy, witness and
service after the example of Jesus Christ. Persons of spiritual
character, honest repute, exemplary lives, warm sympathies, and sound
judgment should be chosen for this office. Deacons minister to those
who are in need, to the sick and elderly, to the friendless, and any
who may be in distress, as their ministry is one of compassion.
