The Dalraida congregation is overseen by the elders (1 Tim. 3:1-6; Tit. 1:6-9).  These men were appointed as elders because they exemplify the characteristics that are found in God's Word.  Our elders work hard to make sure that we are following God's Word in all we do and also look after the members and our needs.  Elders are often called "shepherds" in the Bible because their work and duties are similar to the work of a shepherd over sheep.  Our elders make sure we are fed spiritually, stay healthy spiritually, and encourage us to stay together as the flock of God.

The elders have appointed deacons to help coordinate and organize various ministries in the congregation. Deacons are "special servants" that meet the qualifications listed in 1 Tim. 3:8-13 and who are asked to help coordinate and lead specific needs of the local church. Dalraida's deacons have specific areas of service that they lead and coordinate.
