Calvary Assembly is governed by a group of men known as Elders. The duties of the Elders are to "oversee" the Church as prescribed in the New Testament. The oversight responsibilities and duties of the Elders include, but are not limited to, directing all of the spiritual and business activities of the Church.

The authority of the Elders in the Church is held as a body of Elders, and not as individuals. The Elders shall make every effort to act in unity with the Holy Spirit and one another, with fasting and prayer. All decisions of the Elders shall require the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of all of the Elders.

Qualifications of Elders: Each Elder must be a male voting member of the Church who meets Biblical standards for eldership (including but not limited to I Timothy 3:1-7). Those Elders who are paid staff members of the Church shall at all times comprise less than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Elders.
