Responsibilities of Elders at Candlelight Christian Fellowship
A person holding the office of elder at Candlelight Christian Fellowship is responsible for the spiritual oversight and health of the fellowship. They are called upon to counsel, admonish and hold accountable the Senior Pastor as he leads.
Candlelight Christian Fellowship is not an elder run church in the sense that the elders are a separate entity and the pastor is hired or retained by the eldership. At Candlelight the pastor serves as chairman of the “elder board” and serves as one of the elders. He is accountable to the others in the overall ministry.
The Senior Pastor seeks the counsel of the other members of the “elder board” and may seek counsel from other senior pastors in the community, to which he is also accountable. When the elders are not in agreement over a particular issue or direction the issue is given to prayer and further discussion until such a time as the elders come to an agreement on a direction.
