Our Shepherds
The church submits itself to Christ as the head (Ephesians 5:22-24), and part of it's submission to Christ is by submitting to the leadership of a local church. As we read in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, the office of overseer (also referred to as an elder, shepherd, & bishop) is a "noble task" or "good work." In order for any organized group to run efficiently, there needs to be a physical presence of leadership and the same can be said for the church. We're thankful to say that we're blessed with leadership at Sterling Avenue.
