The church operates under the congregational form of church polity, in that all of our leaders (not including paid staff) are elected from within the congregation, and our leadership structure doesn’t extend beyond the local church.
Elders
The overall leadership responsibility of the church falls to the church’s elected Elders. This responsibly includes all spiritual and temporal issues. Qualifications for this office are based on 1st Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9. Elders shall be responsible for protecting the church from doctrinal error, shall serve as shepherds (pastors) of God’s flock, and shall promote the growth and welfare of the church by providing spiritual oversight to all members and staff.
The Elders have the final authority and oversight responsibility of the congregation, Church Board, and all Ministry Staff.
Our current Elders are, Ed Beck, Benne Buchannan and James Lindquist.
