This official office is reserved for persons called by God and scripturally qualified for ministry (1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9). The Senior Pastor works collaboratively alongside church leadership, staff, and the Deacon body to fulfill the mission of the church through biblical preaching, discipleship, holistic pastoral care, leadership development, evangelism, and community engagement.
