Our Team

The following list are the members of our church family that have been entrusted to various leadership roles. The New Testament is filled with names of people that played crucial roles in proclaiming the Good News and in planting, strengthening, and multiplying churches. The overwhelming majority of those listed in the New Testament are not given any title other than brother, sister, and fellow worker.

Within our churches, we want to have a culture that:
  1. Recognizes the gifts God has given each of us and calls them out.
  2. Clarifies how those gifts function within the whole body by describing what responsibility each person has been entrusted with.

*Denotes a person who is paid part time or full time in that role.
