What our Elders do

Pulpit Rock Church identifies the scope of responsibility of elders as shepherding, governing, instructing, and prayer, and all elders are members of Pulpit Rock's Pastor/Elder Fellowship. Some elders are also asked to serve defined terms on the Board of Governing Elders, which has final responsibility for legal issues, matters of faith and practice, and oversight of the Senior Pastor.
