Our Leadership (2 Timothy 2:14-24 and Titus 1:6-9)

It is the duty of elders, to nurture and strengthen the faith and lives of the congregation committed to their care by the Great Shepherd. They lead and encourage the people in the worship and service of God. They equip and renew the saints for their tasks within the church and for their mission in the world. They warn sinners to flee the wrath to come. God has called father and son to shepherd this flock here in the greater Newark area.
