Grace Church
OUR LEADERSHIP
Leadership at Grace Church
Grace Church is lead by a plurality of Elders. Elders shepherd, oversee, lead, teach, and care for the church. We believe that Pastor, Elder, and Overseer are all synonymous terms in the Bible. So, at Grace Church, our Elders are responsible for the primary leadership and oversight of the church (1 Tim 5:17; Titus 1:7; 1 Peter 5:1-2).
Though it is the responsibility of the Elders to lead, direct, and equip Grace Church, they depend very much upon the assistance, giftings, insight, and input of our Deacons and Grace Group Leaders. Read more HERE.
