Hey, I'm Tim Schmoyer
You've built a family, but now what? Most Christian men are never given a vision for what Biblical leadership looks like in their home, workplace, and city. Elder My City exists to show you the path from father in the home to elder in the city to ruler in the Kingdom.
Join me as I aspire to this noble task (1 Tim 3:1).

What is, "Elder My City?"
I know the word "elders" stirs up a lot of different ideas for people, but here it's all about exploring what it means to be a father in the home, an elder in the city, and, later, a ruler in the Kingdom.
Retirement isn’t the finish line. How we manage today's resouces, relationships, and responsibilities will determine our future authority in God's Kingdom.
I invite you to join me in wrestling through these critically important roles.
These are critical roles for men, families, and cities today
Father in the Home
A father must first learn to oversee his home with grace and wisdom. It's the training ground for eldership. (1 Timothy 3:4-5)
Elder in the City
The father who manages his home well earns the privlege to sit in the "city gates" where he presides with wisdom. (Proverbs 31:23)
Ruler in the Kingdom
Christ rewards faithful stewardship of our home and city with authority over cities in the age to come. (Luke 19:17-19)
