Leadership   

One of the greatest needs within a local church is that of structure and government.  Jesus Christ is the Head of the church and the scriptures state that the government is upon "His shoulders" (Isaiah 9:6).  Moreover, as the Head of the  church, He appoints individuals with the responsibility of governing.

We believe that all authority centers in Jesus Christ and that He has delegated His jurisdiction into the home (domestically), the Local Church (ecclesiastically), and civil government.  We believe in theocratic (God-ruled) Local Church Government and order (Elders, Deacons, and Saints).  Divine order in the New Testament maintains a plurality of eldership and leadership, but there is a set man at any given time with a distinctive anointing to father the flock of God. (Romans 13:1-7; I Timothy 3:1-13)
