These are men who have met the qualifications which Christ set forth in
Titus and I Timothy for elders, and have been appointed by the Elmore
congregation.
Titus 1:5-9
"For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what
remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you. Namely, if any
man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who
believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. For the overseer must be
above reproach as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered,
not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but
hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled,
holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so
that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those
who contradict."
I Timothy 3:1-7
"It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer,
it is a fine work he desires to do. An overseer, then, must be above
reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable,
hospitable, able to teach. Not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle,
peaceable, free from the love of money. He must be one who manages
his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity
(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will
he take care of the church of God?), and not a new convert, so that he
will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the
devil. And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church,
so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."
