Christ alone is the Head of His church and has appointed officers for its good and government.
At Covenant Grace, we recognize elders (also called pastors) and deacons as the two scriptural offices within a local church.
Pastors are called to labor in the Word and doctrine, overseeing the spiritual care and instruction of the congregation.
Deacons serve by caring for the practical needs of the congregation, supporting the ministry of the Word, and fostering unity and love within the body.
