Our Leaders
We believe the ideal model of church leadership is a plurality of male leaders who are biblically qualified according to 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. Jesus Christ is the head of His church, and pastors (also called "elders") are responsible for leading the church by shepherding the flock, guarding the church's doctrine, and equipping the members for ministry (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 4:11; Titus 1:5).
Our pastors share responsibility for teaching, shepherding, prayer, and mission. While we serve together as elders, each pastor brings particular gifts and areas of emphasis within the life of the church.
