Pastors/Elders
Our pastors, or elders,are servant-leaders who have devoted themselves to lead the church through teaching and shepherding God’s flock. Elders are the under-shepherds of the local church. We use the term elder as synonymous with pastor or overseer. The elders watch over the spiritual life and health of the church. Elders serve the church by leading. They do so through prayer and teaching God’s Word. You can listen to our sermon series on elders here.

Deacons
Deacons are the leading servants in the body of Christ. Deacons assist the elders to meet the practical and physical needs of the local church. Our deacons help organize, facilitate, mobilize, and execute service in our church. Deacons help free up the elders to minister to the church through prayer and the teaching of God’s Word. They are wonderful gifts to the church. You can listen to a sermon about deacon ministry here.
