What does the Bible say about submitting to church elders?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages submission to church elders as a sign of humility and respect for God's ordained authority.

1 Peter 5 emphasizes the importance of elders feeding the flock and being examples, calling for younger members to submit to their elders. This submission fosters a spirit of humility within the church, as mutual submission to one another is encouraged. When we submit to those in authority, we acknowledge God’s sovereignty in placing them in our lives, which is central to church order and unity.
