Elders and Deacons of the Bibelgemeinde BerlinThe Bible uses the terminology pastor (shepherd), elder (presbyter) and overseer (bishop) as synonyms, and so do we. They are all descriptive of the same person who is called to be the head of a local church (flock,herd). While the word pastor (Latin, "Shepherd") emphazises the various tasks of a shepherd, the word overseer emphasizes the supervision of the flock/herd and the word elder emphasizes spiritual maturity. The Holy Scriptures teach that this office in not only officiated by one person, but by a plurality of elders. Our Pastors

Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. 1Timothy 5:17
