Servant-Leadership Team
The Bible makes clear that leaders are to be servants (Mark 10:42-45), and that their service is a gift from God to the flock (Ephesians 4:7-12). That leadership is exercised by two types of men called by God: Elders and Deacons
Deacons-
The office of Deacon is not primarily one of rule, but of being leaders in service and mercy. Click on the link at the left to learn more about their ministry at Wellington Presbyterian Church.
Elders-
The office of Elder is one of Shepherd leadership over the flock of God. Here's how 1 Peter 5:1-5 describes them and our relationship to them:
So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2) shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3) not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4) And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 5) Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
