Elders

Our congregation is led and fed by multiple shepherds (i.e. pastors, elders). We believe this is the pattern set forth by the New Testament. The elder-led model provides us with sound guidance from biblically-qualified men. We believe that all of the elders are pastors of the congregation and work together. Some of our elders are employed by the church (see Staff pages), though most work in secular jobs. All elders meet the stated qualifications for this office as laid out in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. They meet regularly to pray and provide spiritual oversight on matters concerning the church.
