The Leadership Team

Working together to serve and lead the church

The Leadership Team is comprised of the Ministers, the Deacons, and the Pastoral Worker, who are responsible to the Church Vision Meeting for the spiritual leadership, oversight and administration of the Church and the pastoral care of its members.

They meet regularly to seek God’s direction for the life of the Church in the context of worship and prayer, and are supported by the Care Team, Homegroup and small group leaders, Reaching the Nations Co-coordinator, Junior Church leaders, the Worship teams, and many, many others.

The Deacons

At the AGM, deacons are prayerfully elected from and by Church members to serve the church for a period three years, after which they may make themselves available to be nominated again for re-election. The Deacons act as the Charity Trustees of the church.
