Congregation & Elders

We believe that Jesus delegated greatest authority in the church to the congregation itself (Matthew 16:16-19; 18:17-20). Our membership, then, has delegated some of its authority to a group of faithful elders to specifically provide leadership and oversight over the church and help us to govern ourselves according to the Lord's will (1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9).

Staff

The church staff's primary role is to "to equip [God's] people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up" (Ephesians 4:12). This means our staff strives not to do all of the ministry, but to empower our members to use their spiritual gifts to serve our church and our city.
