MEET OUR BONDSERVANTS
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God. Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking actual words of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:10-11
We believe that every position of service is a vocation and something that The Holy Spirt puts upon the hearts of His Redeemed (Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 12:18, Matthew 24:46, John 12:26). Although there may be distinct roles of spiritual authority within the structure Christ has instituted in His Church, we are all many members of One Body, and each position of service is not only significant but imperative for the overall health of the Ekklēsia in its entirety, with no one position being higher valued over another (Ephesians 4:4-7, Ephesians 4:11-12). We are all bondservants of One Master (1 Corinthians 7:22) and must not be quarrelsome but be kind to one another, patiently and compassionately serving by the grace of God that has been shown to us in Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:24-25, Ephesians 4:32).
As the Bible makes clear, we believe that Jesus Christ, Who builds His church (Matthew 16:18), has instituted men as Elders to oversee and shepherd local congregations of Believers (1 Timothy 3:1-7, Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5, 1 Timothy 5:17).
We believe likewise that Jesus Christ has instituted men as Deacons to be the primary servers of the congregation under the instruction and appointment of the Elders, to free them up to focus on teaching and shepherding the flock (1 Timothy 3:8-13, Acts 6:2-6)
