Responsibilities of Elders

1. The elders help to settle disputes in the church.
2. They pray for the sick.
3. They are to watch out for the church in humility.
4. They are to watch out for the spiritual life of the flock.      
5. They are to spend their time in prayer and teaching the word. Simply put, the elders should be peacemakers, prayer warriors, teachers, leaders by example, and decision makers. They are the preaching and teaching leaders of the church. It is a position to be sought but not taken lightly–read this warning: “Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness”(James 3:1).

Responsibilities of Deacons

The responsibilities of a deacon are not clearly listed or outlined; they are assumed to be everything that does not include the duties of an elder or pastor, which is to preach, teach, and exhort.  But qualifications for a deacon’s character are clearly outlined in Scripture. They are to be blameless, the husband of one wife, a good household manager, respectable, honest, not addicted to alcohol and not greedy (1 Timothy 3:8-12).  According to the Word, the office of deacon is an honor and a blessing. “For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 3:13).
