About Church Elders

Sheffield Presbyterian Church is governed by elders and this is a fundamental practice of Presbyterian churches.

Elders can be those men who teach the word as well as govern or those who are ruling elders as explained in 1 Timothy 5:17: “Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.” We are also committed to the office of deacon, but this is not an office associated with church government but one of practical care and compassion (1 Tim. 3:8-13).
