The Session at Lakeland Bible Presbyterian consists of the Lead Pastor and Elders. The biblical model of leadership is probably best characterized in the phrase “servant leader.” Just as Christ didn’t come to be served, but to serve (Matthew 20:28), the role of the elders and deacons is to be servant leaders as they oversee and shepherd the congregation.

Our elders and deacons are members who have been elected by the other LBPC members. The qualifications and motivations for the office are described in 1 Peter 5:2-3, 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9 for elders and Acts 6:1-6,
1 Timothy 3:8-13 for deacons.
