In the New Testament, the organizational chart for church leadership is clear: Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, the Chief Shepherd. As Ephesians 1:2 tells us, "God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church."

Woodcreek Church adheres to an elder-served model, where the authority and responsibility for the overall ministry rests upon a group of qualified Christian men known as the Elder Board.  

They are the human leadership for the church under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Therefore, they seek the mind of Christ and submit all matters to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

The qualifications for eldership is outlined in passages like 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1. Our Elders are more than just leaders – they're an integral part of our church family. These committed men actively engage with our congregation and generously contribute their time while embodying our core values. Woodcreek has always been elder-led, with Elders selected based on specific qualifications and a heart for service, as Scripture outlines. A majority of our elders serve without compensation. 

Their roles include:

• Elder: Representing maturity and wisdom within our community.
• Overseer: Ensuring our local church organization is managed with diligence and integrity.
• Pastor or Shepherd: Feeding, protecting, leading, and caring for our congregation.

Additionally, each member of the Woodcreek congregation is assigned to an elder. This intentional pairing ensures that every individual is continually prayed for by name, fostering a culture of support, care, and spiritual growth within our church family.
