Many are confused today on what Elders are and what Biblical names are associated with them. Many think that the preacher is a pastor when in fact he usually is not. Here is a list of Biblical names that Elders are called: Bishop (1Tim. 3:1-2); Shepard, Elder, Overseer (1Pet. 5:1-2); Pastor (Eph. 4:11); Presbytery (1Tim. 4:14). Elders are responsible for watching over the church and must be qualified (1Tim. 3:1-7 Titus 1:5-9). You will also notice that there is always a plurality of Elders not just one.
