Biblical Eldership at LEC is a plurality of qualified men overseeing and shepherding

in  intentional ministry, vigilant stewardship, and authentic growing relationships.

Our Elders also serve as an accountability and support system for the pastor.

Elders are called to prayerfully protect, feed, and equip the Body of Christ.

Qualifications for elders are found in 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, and 1 Peter 5.

Our Deacons consist of frontline leaders providing for physical needs in our community, cultivating congregational unity, and implementing and supporting LEC ministries.

Deacons are called to serve the body at ground level in support of the Elders

and the Mission/Vision of LEC.  Biblical qualifications for selecting deacons

are found in Acts 6 and 1 Timothy 3.
