Overseer and pastor -- the same office The terms overseers and pastors "seem to be used interchangeably to designate the same office." 'The leaders of the church are referred to as “elders†(presbuteroi, Acts 20:17; 1 Tim. 5:17), “overseers†(episkopoi, Acts 20:28; Phil. 1:1), “leaders†(proistamenoi, Rom. 12:8; 1 Thess. 5:12), and “pastor/teachers†(poimenas-didaskalous, Eph. 4:11; cf. also Acts 20:28 and 1 Pet. 5:2 with 1 Tim. 3:2, “able to teach,†5:17b, and Tit. 1:9). Though each of these terms may describe the different aspects of leadership, they seem to be used interchangeably to designate the same office.' ____________________ www.bible.org |
