Leadership Team
The Village is self-governed by the Leadership Team. Their role is to make sure our church is achieving its mission – helping people experience Life Change, Life Growth, and Life Purpose. This team consists of men and women from our church family who volunteer to serve a three-year term. They meet on the second Sunday of every month.

Components of Our Leadership Team:
- Staff – The team holds staff accountable and makes sure the church provides resources to help them be successful.
- Strategy – The team plans for the future to meet the church mission.
Scriptural Authority:
- To be a “Christ-like example”
Be an example for others, and evidence character qualities and public reputation that every Christian should possess. (Titus 1:5-9; 1 Timothy 3:1-7) - To be an Overseer “Of Affairs of the Church”
Leaders are responsible for the direction of the church. They ensure that the elements are in place to meet the church’s goals. (1 Timothy 5:17; Hebrews 13:17; Acts 20:28) - To be a Shepherd
Leaders make sure people are loved and cared for. Someone who guards, feeds and cares for God’s people like a shepherd with a flock. The shepherd is responsible to equip God’s people for ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13), by guarding them against false teaching, giving them good spiritual counsel and food from God’s Word, training them, comforting and helping them (Acts 20:27-31).
