The Bible does not require an elder to be a paid staff member, nor does it prohibit financial support for those serving in eldership when necessary (1 Timothy 5:17-18; 1 Corinthians 9:11). At Landmark, both staff and non-staff men may serve as elders provided they meet the biblical qualifications and can fulfill the responsibilities of the office.
‍

Landmark also recognizes pastors who may have been ordained by other ministries and serve in various pastoral capacities. However, pastoral ordination received elsewhere does not automatically confer governing authority within Landmark Church. Governing eldership at Landmark is determined by the existing elder board through the church's elder evaluation and appointment process.
‍

Men ordained as pastors by Landmark are recognized as elders according to the qualifications and functions described in Scripture. As a general practice, ordination by Landmark includes installation into the office of elder, having already completed the church's elder evaluation, vetting, and approval process.
‍

Service on the governing elder board, including voting authority and legal responsibilities, ordinarily accompanies eldership. However, in certain circumstances, the elder board may determine that a different arrangement is appropriate due to unique ministry, legal, or practical considerations.
‍

Because eldership carries responsibility for the doctrine, direction, and discipline of the church, the final determination of governing eldership rests with the existing plurality of elders. In the case of non-staff elders, they must also have the time and availability necessary to fulfill the oversight responsibilities and meeting requirements established by the elder board.

The Bible does not give a specific number of elders that should serve a given community nor does it specify term limits. Each church body differs and should exercise wisdom in determining how many elders would be sufficient to effectively lead the church, as well as how long. The team of elders at Landmark collectively oversee the affairs of the church and make these determinations.

A live Landmark Stories event is exactly what it sounds like: a real conversation, in person, with someone whose story is worth showing up for. No big production. No pressure. Just a room full of people and something honest happening in front of them.

Landmark Stories is produced by Landmark Church in Ocean City, NJ. But the conversations stand on their own — you don't need to believe anything to watch. You just have to be willing to listen.

All kinds. Athletes. Leaders. People who've walked through addiction, loss, identity, career collapse, grief. The common thread isn't their background — it's that something happened they didn't see coming, and it changed them.

It's a long-form video interview & live event series — real conversations with real people about the moments that defined them. Think less panel discussion, more honest one-on-one. We've sat down with NFL players, fire chiefs, worship leaders, and people you might know from down the street in Ocean City. Free to watch at thelandmark.church/landmark-stories.
