Another answer:Beyond the primary leadership of the apostles, each congregation of the first-century church had elders (Acts 14:23...aka bishops, presbyters) whose responsibility was to "shepherd the church" (Acts 20:28); in other words, oversee its spiritual well-being.Congregations also had deacons (1 Timothy 3:8), whose responsibility was to oversee hands-on matters of benevolence and service to the congregation. See Acts 6:2-7, which describes the establishment of the office and its purpose.
