Seeking to be scriptural in both government and doctrine
The form of church government that we believe is most biblical is called “Presbyterian.” This means that the local churches are governed by "presbyters," or elders, who are elected by the people.

There are two kinds of elders.

• Teaching elders are pastors.
• Ruling elders are ordained laymen.

This was the kind of government the New Testament Church enjoyed (Acts 20:17; Titus 15-7).
