The Lord Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, and has set apart biblically qualified men to lead each local congregation. In the New Testament, elders/pastors are to lead through preaching and pastoral care, whilst deacons serve through faithful stewardship and leading in practical ministries of mercy.
