And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints ...
— Ephesians 4:11-12
We are a congregational church that is led by pastors. We understand the Bible to teach that members of local churches bear the responsibility and authority to guard and maintain both the doctrine of the church and its people (Matthew 16:13-20, 18:15-20). And we understand that God gives leaders as gifts to a church for the equipping of saints for the work of the ministry. Such leaders, namely pastors (also known as "elders"), have God-given authority as well: to oversee the church primarily through teaching and shepherding (Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:2; Hebrews 13:7,17). Contact us to reach out to one of these leaders.
