Elders: The Biblical Qualifications of Church Elders

by Larry Nelson, Jim Osman (Foreword)

There are a growing number of churches today seeking to practice biblical church government by elders. But sadly many pastors and laymen alike would find it difficult to identify even a dozen biblical qualifications for church elders. Consequently, Christ’s Church is often led by unqualified men (and women), and the results have been disastrous with both the shepherds and the sheep going astray.In this book, Pastor Larry Nelson examines more than 30 biblical qualifications required of anyone before being allowed to serve as an elder in Christ’s church. Although most will never serve in this leadership position, all believers should seek to develop these godly characteristics as we cooperate with God in the Holy Spirit-empowered sanctification process.
