Elders and Leaders

Vista Grande Church is Elder-led, which closely reflects the leadership model found in the Scriptures. The Scriptures outline the qualifications that men must fulfill to the best of their ability:

​

"An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but considerate, peaceable, free from the love of money; leading his own household well, having his children in submission with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to lead his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?), and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation of the devil. And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil." I Timothy 3:2-7, LSB, 2022.
