Leadership

Our leadership is made up of pastors, elders, and deacons who are called and equipped of God to oversee the church and to shepherd its members.

“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”—Acts 20:8
