Drawing on our Protestant denominations, we believe in the priesthood of all believers - that Jesus gives each of his followers the gifts and skills to do all that is necessary for life and ministry. So in a sense, all the people of the church are leaders in different ways in the places we are called to live, worship, work, and play.
Our church is governed by a Board of Elders consisting of 12 men and women. Nearly all of the administrative and ministry decisions are made by the Board. The president of the Board is Scott Shriner, the Vice President is Joel Harding, the Treasurer is Joyce Huber, the Secretary is Terry Conners. For more information on the Board, please contact the office or Pastor Seth.
