August 30, 2020 • Ben Kimmell

In the second message of the Leading the Body of Christ series, Pastor Ben shows that in every case where New Testament authors address the nature of local church leadership, we find them specify and model a plurality of elders leading the local church. A plurality of elders is the consistent biblical pattern, historic Baptist practice, and also has numerous practical benefits.
