Leadership Team
As a Baptist church everyone who chooses to become a member of the church is part of the Leadership Team. We believe in the priesthood of all believers and, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we seek together to discern what God may be saying to us. We set aside Elders and Deacons and call a Minister(s) to serve the members. We empower them on our behalf to use their gifts to help lead the church forward and grow. The Church Members elect our Leaders at a Church Meeting an all work together to fulfil God's calling on the church.
