Our church is overseen by a plurality of elders who fit the profile of 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9. Based on 1 Timothy 5:17, the elders are classified as teaching elders (or pastors) who labour in preaching and teaching, in addition to the shepherding responsibilities they share with the ruling elders. In Presbyterian parlance, the teaching elders and ruling elders together constitute the session. They possess the authority of the Word and so proclaim the gospel and shepherd the flock towards Christ’s green pastures.
