Description ELDERS It is God’s desire for every congregation of His people to have elders. Not just anyone, however, can be an elder. In I Timothy 3 and Titus 1 God has laid out specific qualifications for men who would serve in this role. What is an elder? What are the qualifications to serve in this capacity? What is a congregation to do if it doesn’t have qualified men?
