Leadership

Pastors

Pastors in the Bible describes the primary leaders tasked with leading, shepherding, and caring for the church. At our church, the term pastors describes those who work (full-time or part-time) for the church, meet the biblical qualifications of an elder or overseer found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9, and take the posture of servant-leaders in caring for our church.

Staff

We also have numerous leaders who serve in more administrative roles within our church, akin to the role of deacon in the Bible (see Acts 6:1-7). These leaders meet the biblical qualifications of a deacon, and also serve in roles of servant-leadership within our church.

Board of Overseers

Our leadership team is also made up of a Board of Overseers, consisting of unpaid leaders who help give oversight to our pastors and staff, ensure sound teaching and biblical direction, and provide accountability and care for our pastors. 

These leaders are chosen according to biblical qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9. To find out more about our Board of Overseers, click here. To contact our Board of Overseers about a concern, click here.
