Elders

“So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.” (1 Peter 5:1-3 ESV)

Our congregation selects elders and looks to them to shepherd individual members and the congregation as a whole.

Our elders:

• John Cox
• Richard Pryor

Deacons

“For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 3:13 ESV)

Our congregation selects deacons and looks to them to serve the ministries and facilities that constitute our organizational life as a church.

Our deacons:

• Lucian Borders: Maintenance
• Jerry Conyer: Maintenance
• Joel Harrison: Missions, Finance
• Zane Kittrell: Child Care Programs
• Matt Sears: Youth Ministry
• Jared Throneberry (wife Heather): Worship
• Scott Webster: Member Care

Other Ministry Leaders

In addition to the leadership of our elders and deacons, many of our ministries are carried out by church members who volunteer their efforts as leaders of a ministry team or project (see Ministries page).
