Jesus is the head of the church.  Jesus has called elders to shepherd the local church (1 Timothy 3: 1-7, Titus 1: 5-9, 1 Peter 5: 1-5).  This means elders lead the church in vision, teaching, pastoral care, and church discipline.  Deacons are servant leaders in a local church (1 Timothy 3: 8-13, Acts 6: 1-6).  Deacons assist the elders and serve in hospitality, food ministries, serving of communion, benevolence fund, property needs, finance, and personnel.  Our ministry leaders aim to equip members to make disciples in their areas.
