The leadership of Apple Valley Church is made up of elders and deacons. This leadership structure follows the teaching of the apostles in the scriptures and thus is designed by the Triune God for the blessedness of his people (1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, Philippians 1:1-2).

“The ordinary and perpetual offices in the church are those given for the ministry of the Word of God, of rule, and of mercy. Those who share in the rule of the church may be called elders (presbyters), bishops, or church governors. Those who minister in mercy and service are called deacons. Those elders who have been endued and called of Christ to labor also in the Word and teaching are called ministers.” (Form of Government, V, 3; Orthodox Presbyterian Church, 2011)
