I would count that also.
I suppose I would say someone who holds no authority in their church. They don't study for Sundays, meet with elderly people, marry folks, bury folks... they are part of the community but are not elders. So, yes, I prefer the word "elders" as well. Actually, I don't like the word elder, but that's more a matter of style
