What is an Elder?

An elder at E91 Church is a God-called, exemplary spiritual leader. He maintains an impeccable reputation, showing Christ-like love to his wife and fostering a respectful, obedient household. He exhibits mental sobriety, prudent judgment, and a commitment to teaching and upholding sound doctrine. Self-controlled and free from the love of money, an elder manages his household with integrity and prioritizes spiritual leadership. As a mature believer, he serves as a credible witness to non-believers.

In his role, he shepherds the congregation by teaching, healing, nurturing, and guarding against false teachings. He is committed to maintaining sound doctrine, restoring the spiritually fallen, and reconciling conflicts, all while seeking divine guidance through prayer and fasting.
