What is the Leadership Structure at SCC?

At Southbridge Community Church our leadership structure consists of two entities:

1. Pastors, also described as Elders, at Southbridge Community Church are presently all credentialed ministers who have been called by God to serve as the pastoral staff of SCC. The pastors/elders oversee and care for the spiritual needs of the flock (Acts 20:28; Titus 1:5). Their responsibilities are to proclaim sound doctrine, refute heresy (Titus 1:6-9), teach God's Word, exercise leadership in the local church (I Thessalonians 5:12-13, I Timothy 3:1-7), and be an example of purity and sound doctrine. They function as shepherds of which Jesus is the model (John 10:11-16; I Peter 5:1-4).
    
2. The Pastoral Advisory Team (PAT) functions as deacons of Southbridge Community Church; following the pattern of servanthood set by Jesus' life and example (Matthew 20:26-28). In Acts 6:1-6, we find the Early Church appointing 7 men that were full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to serve as deacons alongside the pastors/elders in administrating the temporal and material affairs of the church. This was done so that the pastors/elders might prioritize prayer and minisry of the Word (Acts 6:2). The qualifications for deacons are described in I Timothy 3:8-13.
