Our elders are good men who shepherd this church with love and integrity (Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2). They strive to do what is right, guided by the teachings of Scripture (Matt. 7:21; 1 Thess. 2:13). It is essential that we honor our elders for their dedication (1 Tim. 5:17) and submit to their guidance (Heb. 13:17). Through their example, we learn to imitate their faith and commitment to Christ (Heb. 13:7; 1 Tim. 3:1-7). Let us acknowledge their vital role in our spiritual community.
