LEADERSHIP AT LA CROIX

ELDERS

Pastors are the biblical leaders of the church who are also called elders, bishops, and overseers (Acts 20:28; Ephesians 4:11; 1 Peter 5:2). These men are chosen for their ministry according to clear biblical requirements (1 Timothy 2:11-3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9). The pastors are always spoken of in plurality, because God intends for more than one man to lead and rule over the church as a safeguard for both the church and the men. Their duties include ruling (1 Timothy 5:17) managing (1 Timothy 3:4-5), tending (1 Peter 5:2-5), giving account (Hebrews 13:17), living exemplary lives (Hebrews 13:7), using authority (Acts 20:28), teaching (Ephesians 4:11, 1 Timothy 3:2), preaching (1 Timothy 5:17), doctrinal instruction (Titus 1:9), and discipline (Matthew 18:15-17). The pastors of La Croix Church pray to lead in all humility, with godly motives, in wisdom and discernment, to the glory of God alone in Christ Jesus.

DEACONS

A deacon is literally a servant who leads the church by doing the innumerable things that need to be done, and by managing the many faithful people in the church who also serve.

"Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:

'He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.'" - 1 Timothy 3:8-6
