Our leadership structure is as like the New Testament as we can make it – We have Elders, deacons and saints. All believers are saints! Elders are men of proven character who have been called by God to embody the vision and values and guard, guide and govern the church. Deacons are men and women of proven character to serve the church in a leadership role to put the vision and values into practice!
