How do we know that elder governance is important in the church?

Answered in 1 source

Elder governance is crucial as it establishes order and upholds sound doctrine which preserves the church's integrity (Titus 1:5).

Elders are necessary to put the church's affairs in order, a task emphasized by Paul in Titus 1:5. The oversight of elders directly impacts the church's ability to uphold sound doctrine and to respond effectively to false teachings. Church history and biblical precedence show that a congregational structure under the governance of elders allows for accountability and protect the unity of the church community. Without such careful oversight, the church can easily fall into disorder and deviate from the truth of the Gospel.
