CHURCH LEADERSHIP

This team of men and women is responsible for the compensation, benefits, policies, and performance reviews of all paid staff—especially of the Senior Pastor. They meet monthly and more frequently as needed. There is a self-selected chair who gives leadership to the meetings. This team is ultimately responsible to the congregation who elects them.
