Our leadership begins with Jesus, who is the head of the church (Colossians 1:18).
Then we are led by a group of elders (1 Timothy 3:1-7).
These elders are appointed and ordained by the current body of Elders.
The Elders have also appointed and hired a group of paid Staff.
The Staff work in conjunction with the Elders to accomplish our mission.
In addition to Elders and Staff, we have many volunteer leaders in various ministries who are all working together to connect people to Christ, the Church and the community.

Christ's Church employs both full time and part time staff members to assist in the ministry of the church, equip the congregation for service and evangelism, and oversee the various core ministries and programs. These men and women were selected and hired by the elders.
Our church is led by a group of elders. These men have been chosen by previous elders based on the qualifications listed in 1 Timothy 3. They are then approved by the congregation, ordained by the current elders, and set aside for the work of shepherding and overseeing the church.
Our deacons are chosen and set aside by our elders based on the qualifications listed in 1 Timothy 3. These men are set aside for the purposes of generally serving the congregation. They fill many roles within the church and do much of the behind the scenes work that is required to maintain our facility and meet the physical needs of the congregation.
