Since the days of John Calvin, church government has consisted of the pastor and the elders, who are elected representatives of the congregation. This governmental structure is almost exclusively pyramid in nature with the pastor as the head and the elder board beneath him. This is clearly in conflict with the teachings of the New Testament, as I will prove. The Greek word for elder is “presbyteros”. The literal meaning of the word refers to an older man, or an elder. This meaning need not be applied merely to those who are elderly, as is seen in the apostle Paul ‘s letter to Timothy.
