Pastors, Staff & Deacons

Elder Leadership

A church will be as spiritually healthy as its leadership. Therefore, our leadership seeks to walk in the character and priorities of Jesus. As we follow Christ, we will be equipped to care for and guide others in the journey of trusting Christ with their lives.

Pastors

The Bible teaches that church leadership is distinguished in three terms: pastor, elder, and overseer. This is not unlike how one man can function in the role of husband, father, and employee. Some of our pastors work on staff at the church while others work in the marketplace. We are structured in what is commonly called an elder-led church.

Deacons

A deacon serves in a unique position, serving in a particular role from among the church members. Deacons enable the church to be balanced and healthy, able to be missional-focused vs. busy-minded. We believe Scripture allows both men and women to serve in this role.

Deacons at Large

Our Deacons at Large serve in areas that are more oriented to irregular projects that are not occurring on a consistent basis and yet are needed in order to care for our church. Those who serve in this area are just like any other deacon, they just serve in a unique niche.
