We Make Decisions Together

OUR CHURCH LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE:

A Plural Elder-Led Church is one in which the authority in the church comes not from a single senior pastor, instead the authority rests in a team of Biblically qualified elders that practice mutual submission, making the decisions for the church together. 

Checks and balances are essential. Proverbs tells us that “in an abundance of counselors there is safety (Prov. 11:14).”
