White Oak we select from among ourselves a group of men to be our elders. We expect them to be men of faith, vision, and strength who will guide the church in ways that will honor Jesus Christ and glorify God.  According to the Bible, Elders are to look after the spiritual welfare of the congregation, to shepherd and lead with a vision of what God can do through this congregation. These qualifications are described in 1Timothy 3 1-7 and Titus 1: 5-9
