Elders as a team

Asking Elders to act as a team is rooted in the early days of Jesus’s call to the disciples. He called and was accepted, by 12 men, all of whom had different skills, mindsets, and experiences. Together, over time, acting as a team, they moved forward God’s will. By effective use of their talents, they moved the creation of God’s church forward and expanded knowledge of the good news that was evident through Jesus' ministry. This did not happen by accident. Their success was by design and as a direct result of each using the skills and attributes that God had given them and in a mutually complementary way.
