Jesus Christ is the only King and Head of the church. However, He has graciously ordained elders and deacons to care for her spiritual and physical needs (Acts 14:23; Phil 1:1; 1 Tim 3:1-15; 5;17; Heb 13:17; 1 Pet 5:1-4). Our pastor is a full-time “teaching elder” who labours alongside his fellow “ruling elders” to equip the saints for ministry and maturity (Eph 4:12-13).
