“The Older, The Better”

      When was the first appointed elder in the Bible?

Sincerely,
Age Before Beauty

Dear Age Before Beauty,

Elders have the oversight of local congregations, and in order to be an elder, a man must meet the qualifications outlined in 1 Tim 3:1-7 and Tit 1:5-9.  The first recorded elders are mentioned in Acts 11:39-40, and they were elders in the Jerusalem church.
