Elders

We are governed by a team of elders who shepherd us through prayer, and by ensuring our fidelity to God’s word. While the Elders focus on guiding our church in its spiritual direction and are the leading authority, the staff carries out the everyday operations and functions of the church.

The Elders watch over the theological soundness and keep us focused on the church’s mission and purpose.

God Is Not Quarantined

March 26, 2020

I know someone who is not in quarantine. I know someone who is not “social distancing.” I know someone who wants to use this crisis to move closer to people rather than farther away from them. He alone is our hope. More specifically, His mission is OUR mission.And while we scramble to...

How to know the difference between Fear and Wisdom

March 12, 2020

It seems like the whole world is in a complete panic over our newest friend, the Coronavirus. I just found out that March Madness is going to be a little less "mad" this year, with no fans. And the NBA is suspended. Bummer for basketball junkies like me....

Gospel Works in Our Work to Realign Us

January 15, 2020

The fact of the matter is...WORK is a four-letter word. The Bible tells us not to let any unwholesome talk come from our mouths, but every morning we wake up, say goodbye to our loved ones and utter the dastardly phrase, "I'm off to WORK!" We call ourselves...
