I’m often asked about the “governance” of North Way and how it is that we define ourselves in terms of eldership and other forms of New Testament biblical ecclesiology.
It’s with great joy that I say that we’ve been blessed for the last 28 years with a group of men who have provided incredibly wise, well studied and courageous leadership in the form of the biblical eldership pattern that Paul established with Timothy and all the churches that he founded in the first century.
Biblical elders have that unique ability to step into a situation with wisdom and perspective, not just great ideas and a lot of passion. Ideas and passion are significant but without perspective and wisdom they sometimes lead to actions that are counter productive. True eldership understands the wisdom in waiting on God to get things done even when you feel inspired and motivated to do it on your own.
That’s the kind of leadership we’ve had here at North Way and I am measurably blessed to serve alongside such men.
Blessings!
Dr. Jay
