What does the Bible say about elders in the church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that elders are essential for overseeing church order and maintaining sound doctrine (Titus 1:5).

In Titus 1:5, Paul instructs Titus to appoint elders in every town as part of restoring order in the church. Elders serve as overseers responsible for teaching, governing, and protecting the congregation. Their role is supported by the example of early church practices seen in scripture, tapping into the understood authority delegated by God. Such leadership is vital for maintaining the integrity of the church and ensuring that sound doctrine prevails, especially against false teachings.
