The church elders

In this conversational book, Pastor Jeramie Rinne presents an easy-to-understand "job description" for elders, drawn from what the Bible teaches about church leadership.

Offering practical guidance for new elders and helping church members better understand and support their spiritual leaders, this concise book will encourage elders to respond to their calling with grace, wisdom, and clarity of vision.
