We Need Our Shepherds
When we come together as a church, we're not just a group of people sharing a building on Sundays. We're a family, and like any family, we need people who will look out for us.
That's what our elders are. They are not a board of directors or managers.
Shepherds.
In the ancient world, a shepherd didn't push his flock around from behind. He walked out front. His sheep knew his voice. They followed him because they trusted him, not because they had no choice. That picture is exactly what God had in mind when he gave the church elders.
Our elders are men who've said yes to that calling. They pay attention to what's happening in your life. They pray for you by name, regularly. They watch for things that could hurt you spiritually, and they're the first ones to show up when you're struggling. They're not perfect, and they'd be the first to tell you that. But they've committed to leading the way Christ leads: by serving, by sacrificing, and by pointing everyone back to Jesus.
The elders of CVC are committed to the truth of the gospel, the teaching of Scripture, and the spiritual health of every person and family in this church. They'd love to hear from you whether you have a question, need prayer, or just want to say hello.
Feel free to contact them with any questions or a word of encouragement.
