Leadership
We have two pastors who provide spiritual care for our members, preach and teach God’s Word, and seek to give leadership and oversight. We also have a group of deacons who serve our church practically as well as provide counsel to our pastors. Here is a brief introduction to our pastors as well as our children’s director.
