Choosing new elders is a significant moment in the life of any congregation. Elders are called to provide spiritual leadership and pastoral care, helping to guide the church family faithfully.
The Bible speaks clearly about leadership within the church and outlines the qualities that should be present in those who serve as elders. This process is therefore not only practical but deeply spiritual, seeking God’s wisdom and direction.
