to living under the authority of Scripture. They must have strong theological convictions rooted in
scripture, able to discern truth with wisdom and clarity while providing faithful biblical instruction that
helps others grow in their understanding of God’s Word. Their life should consistently reflect growth in
godliness marked by humility, integrity, and a servant’s heart, modeling spiritual maturity both publicly
