Elders

The New Testament makes clear that local churches were left in the care of spiritually mature men or elders, who are also called bishops, overseers, pastors or shepherds (Acts 20:17, 28-29; 1 Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 1:5). These men have the responsibility to tend the "flock of God" giving concern to spiritual care, counsel, example, leadership, discipline and restoration. The elders meet regularly and are readily available for counsel.

Deacons

The New Testament also speaks of deacons (Phil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3:8-13) and the title suggests very simply "one who serves". Their specific area of service is to the temporal needs of the assembly. Deacons are recognized by the assembly and appointed by the elders (Acts 6:3).
