ELDER LED CONGREGATIONALISM
What is Elder Led Congregationalism? The New Testament is clear that the Church has one Chief Shepherd (Pastor) and that is Jesus Christ. Further, each local church is to submit to her Elders (Pastors) while each member is still responsible for the wellbeing of the church. This means that the Elders are to care for the Spiritual well being of the church while the Deacons assist the Elders with the physical needs of the church, and each Church Member is to carry out the work of the ministry.
Head & Chief Shepherd
Jesus is the head of the Church and the Chief Shepherd (Pastor). Under his authority will the church grow and be led.

FBC Church Member
Every church member is responsible for the health and future of our church. This means no church member can sit back and 'let the professionals' do their job. The Elder's equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Consider this, every book in the New Testament is written to churches, not just Elders. Members have access to a church directory.
