About Peace Haven

Those who have been called of God to oversee and teach in the church are called elders, pastors, or overseers.  These are three or more, interchangeable names (including the pastor) designating one and the same office in a biblically functioning church (Acts 20:17, 28; Eph. 4:11, 12; Titus 1:5, 7).  In other words, elders together 'pastor' or shepherd the church body by exercising spiritual oversight over the church body -- teaching, admonishing, nurturing, praying, and discipling.
