Pastoral Team 

The Pastoral Team provides oversight to the church in matters relating to the Bible, doctrine, spiritual health, and direction.


We believe the three titles of a pastor communicate their three roles:

  1. As “elders” (i.e. “seniors”), they model Christ-like maturity to the church.
  2. As “bishops” (i.e. “overseers”), they discern God’s vision and direction for the church.
  3. As “pastors” (i.e. “shepherds”), they feed and care for God’s people spiritually.


The primary qualifications for a pastor center around Godly character as described in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9 NIV. In addition to character qualifications, the pastor must have a thorough knowledge of scripture with an ability to effectively teach God’s word.
