Guided by the Leadership Team

The leadership team, led by the Lead Pastor, manages the church's daily operations and spiritual life. They support the congregation, foster a vibrant spiritual climate, and work alongside the elders to provide prayer support, defend the church's integrity, pray for the sick, offer counsel, and represent the church to the community.

Spiritually supported by Elders

Our Elders provide spiritual covering (i.e. prayer support, wise counsel, encouragement, etc) for the Pastoral Team and congregation. They provide a prayer shield for the members, defend and protect the integrity of the church, pray for the sick, counsel, and represent the church to the community.
