ANSWER: There is no earthly head of the church! Christ is seated at the right hand of God (Acts 2:29-35) and has been made “to be the head of all things to the church” (Ephesians 1:22). Each congregation of the Lord’s church is selfgoverning, answerable only to Christ!

Each congregation is overseen by a plurality (more than one) of elders, independent of all other congregations. It is the responsibility of these men to “feed the church of God, which He has purchased with His own blood” (Acts 20:28). By this we understand that there is no higher governing body on this earth and to this we are limited! Deacons are to serve the congregation under the oversight of the elders. Evangelists are to proclaim the Word (II Timothy 4:1-5). A religious group without this prescribed organization cannot be the church of the Bible!
