Leadership
At Redeemer Reformed Church, we hold to the Biblical form of presbyterian church government (see Acts 15). This means that the church is governed by a plurality of elders. The deacons assist the pastors and elders in the government of the church in benevolence and physical needs. 1 Timothy 3 lists the characteristics of those who serve in the offices of pastor, elder, and deacon.
