03 What do Elders Do?
What does a healthy elder actually do in the church? In this session, Vince Rafferty shows that eldership is not a title to hold, but a calling to shepherd, oversee, protect, and care for God’s people. He explains how faithful elders bring wise leadership, help cultivate healthy church life, guard the flock from error, and keep the church rooted in biblical truth. This is a thoughtful and encouraging message for both current and future leaders, reminding us that God appoints elders to strengthen His church and to lead with humility, faithfulness, and genuine care for the people entrusted to them.
Vincent Rafferty is an elder in Oxygen Life Church in South Africa. He is married to Christine and they have two children. They minister primarily into South African churches.
