Emerging Elders

Session 1: Do We Really Need Elders?

 Elders, Pastors, Bishops = same function  Presbyter = elder  Poimenas = shepherd, pastor  Episkopos = bishop  Evangelists  Apostle = missionary, one sent  Prophet = speaks the word, preacher, voice of God, vision caster  Ministry ( diakonos ) = concept of broker, steward, administrator; rather than servant  Minister, deacon, deaconess

 Bishop  Attention  Organizational  Visit, confrontation  Shepherd  Develop members faith  Guidance  Protection  Ephesians 4:11-16Develop to maturity  Acts 20:17-35Holy Spirit placed as overseers  Give an account to the chief-shepherd  Shepherds always had to present a sheep part as accountability

God Leadership Bishop Christ Pastor Elders Church World

Problem We have churches without elders – Churches need shepherding – Evangelists need to be in the community Tension between elders and preachers (Who’s in Charge?) Are our preachers training leaders? Will we let them? Theological understanding of what elders are supposed to do Most elders are appointed rather than trained

Membership Leadership

Membership Leadership

Why Elder Development?

 ADNile floods in Alexandria  Grain shortage in Rome by fall  Jubilee year in Jerusalem  Acts 11:27Agabus prophesies famine  47 AD Famine in Jerusalem  Acts 11:30Paul and Barnabas with relief  47AD-50ADPaul 2 trips  Salamis to Paphos is 112 or 145 days  50-52ADPaul at Corinth

He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,  to equip the saints for the work of ministry  for building up the body of Christ

…until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,  to mature manhood,  to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ  so that we may no longer be children

The reason I left you in Crete was that you might correct what is lacking and appoint elders in every city even as I directed you to do.

What Type of Training Have We Used? Farming, Agriculture Education Business Team Ministry Need a Theological Model

Do We Need Elders? Elders were a key part of infant congregations Elders empower the ministers to focus on outreach Elders can shepherd ministers to use their gifts Elders can develop members, families, and people struggling with sin Elders can help the church become missional/incarnational
