Elders

After a brief search on google, finding nothing that seemed helpful... I offer this

Two Kinds of Elders, Ruling Elders (RE) & Teaching Elders (TE)
Similarities: They both have a vote on the elder board and are charged with overseeing the life of Christ Community Church

Differences:
--Ruling Elders are normal people (i.e. non-ministers) while Teaching Elders are Ministers
--Teaching Ministers are to officiate at the Lord's Supper and Baptisms; Ruling Elders are not
--TE's are members of North Florida Presbytery while RE's are members of Christ Community
