Able to Teach

So that leaves only one - number 7 - and the one that distinguishes the qualifications of Elders or Overseers from Deacons, in what follows.

I don't think it matters what precise structure a church uses, whether it's a Deacon's Board, an Elder's Board, a Ministry Board, or something else. In fact, I don't see anything here that says "People with these qualifications are to meet monthly for 4 hours to discuss when it's time to fix a leaky roof." I was once involved with a leadership board that took 4 months to decide what kind of vacuum cleaner to buy for the home we lived in (since it was owned by the church).

The point of having Elders (or whatever you want to call them) is that they would lead. And those who have the most responsibility are also able to teach.

What does this mean? Well, there are a few things to keep in mind.
