Our Leadership Structure

We are a mixture of church leadership styles to provide the right mix of leadership, accountability, and congregational involvement. Our model is best defined as:

  • Pastor-led - We recognize the Pastor and staff's calling (1 Peter 5:2-3, Acts 20:28) to shepherd the church. The Pastor and staff's role is to lead the day-to-day aspect of the church, providing vision, direction, and discipleship (Ephesians 4:11-16) for the church.

  • Board-Guided - We recognize the value of shared leadership. While the Pastor & staff are leading day-to-day, the Leadership Board loves, supports, and provides accountability for the Pastor and staff to stay true to the church's vision.

  • People-Gifted - Ephesians 4:11-16 shares the role of the church's leadership is to "equip the saints for the work of ministry." The greatest ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ are not the ones who stand on stage but the ones who sit in the crowd. Our calling is to equip and encourage the body of Christ to discover their unique calling and live that out in the everyday stuff of life to make disciples that make disciples.
