Redeemer is led by men who have been set apart for service as Elders. These men must meet the biblical qualifications to serve (1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9) and must desire to serve the church in this way (1 Peter 5:1-5). They provide ongoing spiritual oversight for the church. Redeemer is also served by men who function as Deacons. These men also must be qualified to serve (Acts 6: 1-6, Timothy 3:8-13). Deacons care for the operational needs of the church while also seeking to help those in the church who are facing hardship.
