The Garriott Road Church of Christ has been blessed with Godly men who serve as our shepherds, or elders. These men have met the qualifications set forth by the Holy Spirit in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. Our elders are committed to reaching the city of Enid with the good news of Jesus Christ. They are excited about the future of the Garriott Road congregation. These men love the Lord, each other and the church of which God has given them the oversight. These elders are always ready to listen to the needs and requests of the congregation. They have regular meetings to discuss and pray over the affairs of the church, but they will talk to you anytime you have a need.
The elders are assisted by deacons. These are men who have also met the qualifications given in the Bible. They are responsible for different areas of work assigned to them by the elders.
