This is part 7 of 8 in our Church Offices series! We are talking about the office of the elder and what it means to be an elder. We learn many Churches define elder and pastor the same, some Churches ordain elders while others do not, some believe elder is its own position, and others believe these are simply men and women we respect in the Word. How we define this office and understand how others define elders could bring huge implications for Church unity. Is a Church board the same as a plurality of elders? Can elders fill in for the pastor? Should we use this term at all?
