The Senior Pastor is the lead overseer of the church, and it is his responsibility to give and protect the vision of the church, train leaders, shepherd the flock, and be the primary preacher of the word of God for the church. Congregational health, institutional stability, ministry, continuity and sustainability are some of the key result areas of the Senior Pastor.
Deacons
The purpose of deacons is to serve the Lord and His people by conducting the caring ministry of the church – doing the work of benevolence, visiting the sick, being alert to the spiritual needs of the congregation – freeing the pastor(s)and elders to focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word, thus facilitating the spread of the gospel and promoting unity within the church.
Theological Alignment
Our leadership is united by a shared commitment to historic, orthodox Christianity. We invite you to review our core beliefs and doctrinal positions.
