Frontier Church embraces the spiritual leadership of a plurality of elders. Elders serve the Lord Jesus Christ (the Good Shepherd) by providing his local flocks with spiritual oversight (1 Peter 5:1-4). As under-shepherds caring for the Good Shepherd’s sheep, elders:
Feed the flock through sound teaching and preaching (1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:9)
Guard the flock by watching out for doctrinal harm and correcting heresy (Acts 20:28-31)
Nurture the flock, seeking growth in the knowledge and grace of God and equipping the saints for the work of the church (2 Peter 3:18; Ephesians 4:11-16)
Lead the flock by imitating Christ in word and deed (1 Corinthians 11:1; Hebrews 13:7; 13:17)
Pray for the physical needs and spiritual maturity of the flock (Acts 6:4; James 5:14)
