Elders

Under Christ, the Head of the Church, the New Testament recognizes one main leadership office in the local church. Several complementary titles identify this office: elder, overseer, and pastor (Acts 20:17, 28; Ephesians 4:11–16; 1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9; 1 Peter 5:1–2). Cleveland Park Bible Church is led by a team of such men, who are assisted by deacons (Acts 6:1–6; 1 Timothy 3:8–13) and various other ministry leaders.
