MEET OUR TEAM
People who
serve together.
Our church is led by our Pastor and Vision Leaders, some of whom also have responsibilities for particular areas of church life. Together as a group, they seek to discern God’s vision for our church, meeting weekly for prayer and monthly to lead us in implementing that vision. If you have a pastoral need or something you would like them to consider, please email the church office ([email protected])
