528-539 – Judy TenElshof, is Professor of Spirituality and Marriage & Family and Director of Talbot School of Theology's Spiritual Formation Focus (link), and, along with her husband Gene, Founder of the Hilltop Renewal Center in Pine Cove (near Idyllwild) (hilltoprenewal.org). And, along with Robert Saucy, is the co-author of Women and Men in Ministry: A Complementary Perspective (link), which takes the middle ground between the egalitarians who deny any differences between men and women, and the NAME who believe women are never allowed to teach men in the church. Judy and Robert argue that while men and women are equal, God has given them different roles, and that each role relies upon the other to be fully effective.
• Five Types of Church Government (aka Polity or Ecclesiology). The Bible teaches that Christ is the Head of the Church, and that Elders (elder-presbuteros, overseer-bishop-episkopas, pastor-shepherd-poimen) oversee the Deacons (minister-servant-diakonos) who minister to the congregation. There have been five different applications of this in church history. It sometimes helps to use business analogies. (Key passages: 1 Tim 3:1-13, 1 Tim 5, Titus 1:5-9, Jude 12, Ephesians 4:12-13, James 5:14, Acts 6:1-6, Acts 20.)

3) Congregational Led (Employee Owned Business; e.g., Lake Ave Congregational Church)
4) Bishop Led (Corporate Store, In-N-Out; e.g., Episcopal, Greek Orthodox, and Catholic churches )
5) Plurality of Elders Led (Senior Partnership, a law firm; e.g., many independent-Bible churches, Life Bible Fellowship)
