Council & Leadership
While all members can serve one another with their prayers, their personal time, special abilities, and with loving Christian advice, men have the added privilege and obligation of governing the church. Therefore, they are encouraged to attend the quarterly Voters' Meetings on the third Sunday after the end of the quarter. As Christian leaders they are to further the saving gospel, here and abroad. 

The Church Council is charged with reporting to, and carrying out, the directives of the Voters. The Council consists of the Church President, Secretary, Financial Secretary, Treasurer, and the chairmen of the respective Boards. It meets monthly.

Providing input and service to the Council and therefore to the congregation and to our Lord, are the following standing Boards. These offices are filled at the October Quarterly Voters' Meeting with the terms beginning at the January Annual Voters' Meeting. Full terms are for three years, expiration of term is indicated behind each leaders's name in ( ) brackets.  The * indicates the chairman of that board.

I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor.


Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! ~ Luke 24:5-6
