Doctrinal Statement
Church Government
Hope Bible Church Kelowna is committed to the Bible's teaching that men who hold the offices of Elder and Deacon are to oversee various functions of the local church.
The Bible's teaching on the subject of two church offices is found in 1 Timothy 3:1-16 and Titus 1:5-9. Although there are three terms used for the offices of the church: bishop, elder, and deacon, analysis of these terms indicates that bishop and elder are used interchangeably.
