Our Eldership
The Green Oaks congregation is shepherded by three elders (also called pastors; Ephesians 4.11). According to 1 Peter 5:2-3, elders are called to care for God’s people and lead the local congregation. A biblical elder is happy to serve and is a good example of Christ to the ones they lead. You can read more about God's qualifications for elders in 1 Timothy 3.1-7 and Titus 1.5-9.

Our Evangelists
The Green Oaks congregation is also home to two evangelists (2 Timothy 4.5). These men carry out the Great Commission by preaching the gospel and baptizing people into Christ (Matthew 28.18-20). As well, they build up the local congregation by leading Bible studies with members and visiting the sick. If you have a Bible question, they are "ready to give an answer" (1 Peter 3.15)!
