The New Testament teaches us that Jesus Christ is the head and Lord over all things pertaining to His church
(Col.1:18-20).
It is under Christ's leadership that the New Testament establishes the offices of both elders (overseers)
and deacons (ministers of mercy) within the local church. (Acts 20:28;
1 Cor. 3:5;
Eph. 4:11-13;
Phil. 1:1;
1 Tim. 3:1-13;
Titus 1:5-9;
1 Peter 5:1-4).
Following the example of their Lord, the elders and deacons
conduct themselves as servant leaders of the church
(Mark 9:35,
10:43;
John 13:14, 15).
