Leadership

We Aim to be Servant Leaders

We seek to be fully submitted to the commands and wisdom of Christ. We want our church to be ordered the way God intended for churches to be ordered.

We believe the elders of the local church are called to humbly lead the church and are responsible to help God’s people spiritually flourish.

Elders-in-Process

With the hope of raising up and establishing Elders, we’ve created an eldership and leadership development pipeline.
