Elders and Deacons
Bull Street Baptist Church is led by a plurality of elders, governed by the gathered congregation and supported through the practical ministries of the deacons.
Elders
The Bible prescribes that the local church is to be led by a plurality of elders. Because the words “pastor,” “elder” and “overseer” are used synonymously in the New Testament, all pastors at BSBC are elders and all elders are pastors. The elders are comprised of men who satisfy the qualifications for the office of elder set forth in I Timothy 3: 1–7 and Titus 1: 5–9. Some of our elders serve vocationally and others fulfill their calling as volunteers.
The elders oversee the ministry and resources of the church in accordance with the Word of God. In keeping with the principles set forth in Acts 6: 1–6; Hebrews 13:17 and 1 Peter 5: 1–4, the elders devote their time to prayer, the ministry of the Word (by teaching and encouraging sound doctrine), and shepherding God’s flock.

Deacons
The office of deacon is that of a servant, meeting the practical needs of the church in ways that free the elders to fulfill their responsibilities. A deacon must meet the qualifications for the office as described in Acts 6:1-7 and 1 Timothy 3:8-13. Deacons serve under the authority of the elders, being organized in the most fitting way to accomplish the various ministries of the church.
Particular responsibilities of the deacons include:
