Can A Plurality Of Elders Work?
 

And when they had ordained them elders in every church ,and had prayed with fasting,they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.ACTS 14:23
Can a Plurality Of Elders function as leadership in a local church or it something that can't function in the church today?

I say absolutely not if they are trying to be equals in power. There must be an ultimate authority and head. I am not against a multitude of counsel however. Of course, I am also seeing this from the ugly end of some elders who usurped power...

Thank you Bro.Jelkins.Could a Bishop and then a plurality of Elders under him work as to shoulder the load of ministry in a local assembly?

I personally know of a few men who have tried this. Their vision was to be equals and make decision together. It didn't work and jeopardized their relationships, not to mention the grief it caused the church. The only solution was for one of them to rise to the position of Sr. Pastor and the others to leave. It sounds good and idyllic, but it doesn't work.

Thank you MOW I have wondered about this?
But how did an Apostle in the early church sets Elders in every church ,when today Apostles setting men in churches is unheard of?

It will work if every board member was selfless. It doesn't work because many are selfish.

"Elders in every church" can also mean "an elder in every church."

Yes the reference verse is TITUS 1:5.

I think there was still a head elder. Human nature dictates that there can only be one head to a body.

A Bishop or Pastor with a ministry team seems like a good idea.
A Bishop should learn how to delegate authority to others ,because one man can't do everything himself.
