This session explores how Christ leads His church and what He has called it to do. We will examine the biblical roles of elders and deacons, seeing that elders are called to shepherd and teach while deacons serve and support the life of the church (Acts 6:1–7; Acts 20:28). We will also consider the role of the congregation, highlighting how members participate in affirming leadership and guarding the life of the church. Finally, we will look at the mission of the church in Ephesians 4:11–16—how leaders equip the saints, and how every member is called to build up the body and take part in the work of ministry. This session emphasizes that the church is both ordered and active: led by faithful leaders, supported by committed members, and sent into the world with the gospel.
