OVERVIEW

What does it mean for a church to be led by a plurality of elders? How much authority do the elders have? How does elder authority relate to a congregational polity? And how does the ministry of the deacons fit in?

This conference will address these questions by considering the authority of the congregation, elders, and deacons in a way that is simple and memorable, with an eye toward implementation across different church contexts.

Join us on Saturday, September 21 at First Baptist Church Matthews, NC for a one-day event on Elders in the Local Church. This event will feature teaching from Dr. Ben Merkle of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and a panel discussion with local pastors who have experienced a transition to an elder model at their local church.
