An Equip Group on Elder Led Congregationalism
Through teaching and discussion we will tackle the topic of polity in a local church. Have you ever wondered…
What does it mean that we are Warren Woods Baptist Church?
What does a Baptist church believe about church structure and governance?
Why do we practice church membership? What difference does it make?
What is my responsibility as a church member?
What authority does the congregation hold? What about the pastors?
Why does church structure even matter? Shouldn’t we just focus on making disciples?
If you’ve asked some of these questions or even if you haven’t thought of them before, please join us for the discussion! The hope for this Equip Group is for us to see together that we don’t have to come up with inventive ways of organizing our church, making disciples or stewarding the gospel all on our own. In fact, Jesus actually gives us a road map for disciple-making and gospel-stewardship–it’s the local church.
