Elder to Elder
Guidance, care, and being a trustworthy example.
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
— 1 Peter 5:1-3
— 1 Peter 5:1-3
Elder isn't a title given to people who run things. Instead, it should be the natural outcome of life with God over many years.
