In the Bible you will not find much distinction if any concerning the elder and pastor. There is a passage that says, "The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching" (1 Tim 5:17).

Is an elder-led church structure more effective than a pastor-led church structure in promoting spiritual growth and community engagement?
Research on the effectiveness of different church structures in promoting spiritual growth and community engagement is mixed. Some studies suggest that an elder-led church structure, where decisions are made collectively by a group of elders, can lead to greater accountability and shared leadership, which may foster a stronger sense of community and spiritual growth among members. On the other hand, a pastor-led church structure, where a single pastor has more authority and decision-making power, can also be effective in promoting spiritual growth and community engagement, especially if the pastor is skilled at building relationships and providing guidance to the congregation. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a church structure in promoting spiritual growth and community engagement may depend on various factors, including the specific context and culture of the church.
Who conducts a church service?
Who conducts a church service? Well I believe that a Resident Pastor or Bishop of that church is qualified to conduct a service for the church. On occasion when the Pastor or Bishop are not around to minister, the elders can take control of the ministering and the conduction of the service in the morning and afternoon {If applicable}. Primarily it is either the Pastor or the Bishop. In the event of a church having Deacons instead of elder- they are not allowed to preach or conduct a service simply because Deacons (1st Tim 3:10) are only servants in the church whereas elders (1st Tim 3:2) are teachers or preachers. I hope this answers the question!
Why is the pulpit doctrinally important in the Presbyterian church?
This is getting into the fine points a bit.... But One major purpose of the church is to enable a Teaching Elder (pastor) to expound the Word of God (the Bible) to the congregation. The members of the congregation listen attentively and, enabled by the Holy Spirit, apply the truths of God's Word to their lives. Thus, the sermon is of especial importance to the service and to the church, and this importance is highlighted by the presence of the pulpit. The pulpit, as well as the Geneva gown worn by the pastor, also hides what the pastor is wearing from the congregation so that they won't be distracted by noticing what the pastor is wearing.
