Elders
The Elder Board is comprised of the lead pastor and other leaders from within our congregation. They provide spiritual oversight, direction, and leadership for the overall church, entrusting the implementation of that direction to our core team and support team, under the leadership of Pastor Doug. The Core Leadership Team is held accountable for fulfilling the Elder Board’s direction.
