Eldership
The Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA) states the following regarding our Church Elder Boards:
“The highest functioning authority of the local church shall be the Board of Elders which may be called by another name and is herein referred to as the Board.
Board members shall be elected, and along with the senior pastor, will provide oversight of the ministry and operation of the local church.”
