elder / eldersLeader, overseer, advisor, senior, to be mature, having experience and knowledge. DTP The church is to have elders who can oversee, to know what is happening to the flock of God. They are to provide wisdom, both in equipping and training, so that disciples may mature and produce fruit that will last. They are also to seek God in prayer. Like deacons they too, must meet certain standards before they are set apart for the ministry of eldership in the church (1 Tim 3:1-7; Tit 1:5-9).
