MINISTRY COUNCILS AND LEADERS

A Ministry Council is established for four of the five areas of ministry – Christian Education, Christian Life, Mission and Evangelism, and Worship. The Church Council serves a dual role as council for the church at-large and the Ministry of Administration. Each Ministry Council is headed by a staff minister or designee of the pastor and consists of leaders from associated auxiliary ministries plus its at-large Church Council representative. These Councils serve as the conduit for integrating Ministry into necessary aspect of the Church’s life.

For each Ministry, the leaders of Auxiliary Ministries are provided.
