Elders at Carlton Oaks

Establishment of the Church by Jesus

 

In the foundational words of Matthew 16:18, Jesus promised to build His church, establishing Himself as its cornerstone (1 Corinthians 3:11). This divine pledge underscores Jesus' fundamental role as the founder and bedrock of the church's formation and sustenance. The plurality of elders, as seen in the New Testament (Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5), reflects biblical leadership by emphasizing collective pastoral care and guidance, ensuring accountability, wisdom, and spiritual oversight for Carlton Oaks.

 

Role of Church Leaders

 

Ephesians 4:8–11 highlights the pivotal role of church leaders as agents of God in building and nurturing the body of believers. Through their diligent service, they equip and empower the saints for the work of ministry, exemplifying godly leadership. At Carlton Oaks, we are blessed with elders who embrace this sacred responsibility, shepherding the congregation with willing hearts, eager spirits, and humble attitudes. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with our current elders and their respective areas of service, as they guide us in our journey of faith. Learn more about Biblical Eldership
