Elders

Mt. Zion is a Jesus-ruled, elder-led church. As shepherds and overseers of a local church, elders are qualified men who are entrusted with protecting, leading, equipping, and caring for the corporate church body and her individual members. We have committed to team leadership through a plurality of elders. Our elders work together to shepherd the church body in all areas. The qualifications for elders are found here: 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-4; I Timothy 5:17.
