ELDER
At The MET, we have a team of “Elders”. Elders are shepherds and spiritual overseers. They also ensure compliance with our by-laws, approve the annual budget, and provide accountability for our lead pastor as he reports to them as a body. Throughout the New Testament, elders are described as managing aspects of the church as well as shepherding the church.
At The MET, the Lead Pastor serves four simultaneous roles in relation to the elders:
- The Lead Pastor serves as an elder with an equal part in the discussion and decision-making process.
- The Lead Pastor is accountable to the elders in regard to performance and character.
- The Lead Pastor looks to the elders as spiritual counselors and advisors.
- The Lead Pastor serves as a spiritual leader to the elders providing shepherding and spiritual coaching.
