In 1 Peter 5:2, Scripture calls elders to "shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight . . . willingly, as God would have you." Missio Dei Church is a presbyterian church. The term "presbyterian" originates in the language of the Greek New Testament and describes a church led by elders. Elders are elected from the congregation to shepherd the church. We have two types of elders: the pastor (Teaching Elder) who is a full-time minister and who does most of the preaching and teaching at the church, and the Ruling Elders who assist him in providing executive leadership and pastoral care for the flock. Together they form the Session.
