Senior Pastor

The Chairman of the Board of Elders is at the same time the Senior Pastor of the church. As the Senior Pastor, he is the spiritual and administrative leader of the church.

Elders

The Board of Elders oversees the spiritual growth and leadership of the church. The Board of Elders exercises veto powers, but not direct managerial control, over the Board of Trustees as well as any and all ministries directly or indirectly associated with the church. They review all activities and programs of the church to ensure that everything is done to the glory of our Lord and Savior, in the harmony of the Holy Bible, and at the direction of the Holy Spirit.
