Our Leadership Structure
1. Elders (1 Peter 5:1-4)
The Elders are men affirmed by the congregation. They bear the authority in,
and the responsibility for leading and shepherding the church.
2. Staff Members (Ephesians 4:11-12)
The staff is responsible to manage the day-to-day details of ministry and to train, delegate and
empower the church body to carry out the vision and mission the Elders believe God has called us to.
The Lead Minister is the primary teacher and the primary voice for the church’s vision and
mission. Additional staff members are hired according to the specific needs of the church.
3. Team Leaders (or Deacons) (Acts 6:1-4)
Biblically a deacon is a helper or a servant. Team Leaders oversee a specific area of ministry of the church.
4. Members & Regular Attenders (1 Corinthians 12)
The church is likened to a body, and every member is valuable to it.
Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and
the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up
the church, the body of Christ. - Ephesians 4:11-12
