THE SERVANT LEADERS OF St. John's Church is the Eldership. Our team of pastors and elders is made up of men who are spiritually qualified (I Timothy 3, Titus 1), and equally responsible (1 Peter 5). The Eldership is responsible for guarding (Titus 1:9), guiding (1 Timothy 5:17), and growing (1 Timothy 4:12-13) the church in fulfilling its mission.

Characteristics of an Elder:
- Elders uphold the church’s statement of faith and emphasize unity within
the church body.
- Elders lead by example, demonstrating Christ-like behavior, biblical stewardship,
hospitality, confidentiality, and commitment to family.

Responsibilities of the Elders:
- Prayer: Actively engage in prayer for and with the congregation, fostering
a reputation of devotion.
- Preaching and Teaching: Model biblical literacy, ensure accurate
preaching, and contribute to teaching as needed.
- Vision: Set, review, and communicate the church's direction while leading
as everyday missionaries.
 - Protection: Address divisiveness, uphold church discipline, and guard
against false beliefs.
- Pastoral Care: Provide spiritual, emotional, and relational support, being
present for members in need.
