In the past year at Oakridge, we have seen four more step into the role of Elder, being commissioned to the task of leading and shepherding the flock that is this local expression of the body of Christ. But we also recognize that in the past few years we have seen many new faces and families in the church, many of whom may have not been a part of an elder-led church before, or understand why we do what we do in this regard. This past Sunday we heard a sermon explaining and illustrating the role and this week on the podcast Josiah and Andrew break it down a bit further by comparing some other popular church leadership models and why we land where we do.
