The Presbytery (1 Timothy 4:14)
The scriptural definitions, designations, and offices of God’s true (human) messengers—often translated angels in the scriptures—are many and varied. This is due to their particular gifts from the Lord which are given without respect to race, gender, national origin, or socio-economic status.
And he gave some, apostles, and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. Ephesians 4:11
Apostle Daniel Wilburn Layne (1944–2011)
Bro. Layne was born on March 30, 1944, of church of God lineage in Ashland, Kentucky, and in youth was associated with the pioneers of the church of God. He was raised from the depths of sin to radical holiness and obtained a clear experience of Holy Ghost baptism. Soon after, God laid the charge of gospel ministry upon his heart. Called to be an apostle, he restored what had been lost through the awful and disastrous spiritual silence which began in the early 1900′s.
God is calling on us to be the church of God in the apostolic sense, not in name only, but in reality and power. The sounding forth of the seventh trumpet will accomplish this. — Apostle Daniel W. Layne

And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. Exodus 18:25–26
