OUR STANCE ON ELDERS
At Grace Church, we believe that an elder is a man who meets the qualifications in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9 . We believe that the elder is recognized and affirmed by the congregation and is involved with the congregation by actively shepherding the people of Grace Church.
The New Testament gives the model that the local church was consistently led by a plurality of elders (Acts 14:23, 20:17; Phil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 5:17; Jas. 5:14). The elders meet twice a month to learn, guide, shepherd and pray together.
