Elders Alongside our pastor, four people serve in the role of Elder at Dayspring Fellowship. We believe that the New Testament teaches that the church is to be led not by a single individual but by a body of elders who hold one another accountable. We consider our pastor first among equals, and major decisions are made by consensus among the five elders of the church. Our elders are called to encourage the church and provide additional leadership, integrity and guidance while advising and encouraging our pastor.
