Because of Jesus, we are now following Him with our whole life. God describes Jesus as the Leader of our lives. He loves us. He’s in charge. And we carry his name. The Bible teaches that one of the ways Jesus leads and cares for His followers is to give responsibility to some of the elder brothers and sisters to do just that. In biblical terminology, elders shepherd, oversee, lead, and care for the family of Threads. To contact any of them, email connect [at] threadschurch.org. Below you’ll see some of our team who get to lead in this way as elders.
