Our Leadership Team
For over ten years, a team of volunteer servant leaders has met regularly to attend to a wide variety of needs, practical and spiritual, to support the life of our church. This includes various elders, deacons, staff, treasurers, ministry leaders, and more. They focus on the ongoing function of our church so that other leaders can keep their focus on ministry.
