Red River Church

From its early roots extending back to a 1970's Christian coffeehouse just off the Drag at 26th and Rio Grande, Red River Church has always embraced plurality of leadership. Six elders form the Board of Directors to provide oversight for the spiritual health of the church and to provide direction for the future. They meet bi-weekly at the church in prayerful consideration of what God is doing in Austin at 45th and Red River Street and to submit themselves to His direction for the church's corporate needs.

Elders at Red River Church are overseers, based upon 1 Peter 5:1-5 and Hebrews 13:17. They are to be examples to the members. Elders function in a group, bringing diversity, but committed to seeking unity. In the New Testament churches, elders were appointed to oversee the members (Acts 14:23 & Titus 1:5.)

Qualifications of elders (based upon 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Title 1:5-9):

• Above reproach, husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled
• Respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunk
• Not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money, manages his family well
• Has obedient children, not a recent convert, good reputation with outsiders, not overbearing
• Not quick-tempered, loves what is good, upright, holy
• Disciplined, holds firmly to the trustworthy message of the gospel
