The "model" for the early church was the Jewish synagogue. Remember, for the first 30yrs or so, the early Christians still attended the synagogue and were primarily "messianic Jews." The synagogue was lead by a Rabbi and not a committee of elders. Plurality of leaders, yes, but the Rabbi was their leader, at least from what I have read.
