The Elders consist of eight to twelve men nominated by the Pastor and Elders. Elders meet monthly and concern themselves with three main duties: 1) care of the pastoral and deaconess offices; 2) worship services; and 3) the spiritual welfare of members. Congregation members (their “flock”) are assigned to an Elder according to which Sunday service the member primarily attends. Elders assist the Pastor during worship services as readers of the Scripture and as assistants for the distribution of Holy Communion.
