It shall be the responsibility of the elders to oversee the teaching ministry and doctrinal influences within the fellowship of believers in both formal and informal settings. They will insure the consistent and continual teaching of these articles of faith and defend the flock from false teachers and divisive persons who contradict this statement of faith. They are also responsible to insure no one teaches anything contrary to this doctrine in the pulpit, in any Bible class, or ministry of Redeemer Church (Titus 1:9-11; Acts 20:28-32).
