In the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Board of Elders constitutes the highest level of authority in the local church.  Elders are to provide spiritual oversight of the Church's life and ministry.  They seek the leading of the Holy Spirit for the congregation, decide upon matters involving the practical application of Biblical doctrine to specific ministry situations, safeguard church teachings and doctrines, assist in the pastoral care of the congregation, and give oversight in matters of membership, baptism, infant dedications and church discipline.  The Elder Board meets monthly, but individual Elders also have oversight responsibilities in various areas of ministry, such as staffing the Prayer Room each weekend, serving communion to our children, serving as liaisons with other boards, praying for the sick, and participating in sessions of spiritual warfare.
