Our model - Elders in the Early Church

Titus 1
For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you.

Acts 14
And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God”.
