Leadership at Grace

Leaders at Grace

Scripture emphasizes the specific character and qualities that we should look for in our leaders. At Grace Church we choose our leadership, with prayer and under the guidance of His Word. We are thankful for the godly men that God has brought to serve here at Grace.  

Pastors are selected by the congregation based on meeting the biblical qualifications of an Elder, who is called of God, gifted by Christ Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit to be a Shepherd /Teacher (Ephesians 4:11) to "Shepherd (feed) the flock of God among you" (1 Peter 5:2) by "preaching the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27), "equipping the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ," (Eph. 4:12) while guarding himself and all the flock (Acts 20:28). He serves as "an example to the flock." (1 Peter 5:3).

Elders are elected members of Grace Church who meet the scriptural requirements as recorded in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 5:1-4, and Acts 20:28. The Elders together with the Senior Pastor, form the Elder Council, the leadership body at Grace Church.

Grace Church has three elected officer positions as declared by its governing documents: Church Chairman, Recording Secretary and Treasurer.
