When we look at the Bible, we see that the New Testament Church has two main offices that are primary functions within the local church. We see that the church in Jerusalem appointed Deacons to oversee the daily distribution of food and we see that Paul and Barnabas appointed Elders in the cities where they established churches. These two offices, working together within the context of a local congregation, are the backbone of the local, visible church.
