Leaders of FBC

The guiding principle of our church is “Servant Leadership”. Our leaders recognize the supreme importance of modeling Christ as the basis on which true life transformation must take place within our own congregation. We lead by persuasion and exhortation focusing sharply on His Word as the authoritative basis of any action.

The First Baptist Leadership is based on the New Testament model of elders and deacons. The Council of Elders is responsible for the ministry of the Word in the pulpit and biblical education as well as providing overall spiritual oversight. The Church Board comprises deacons who are tasked with administering the church in the various ministries and programs. Pastors are either elders or deacons.

Beyond this group there is a wider group of deacons who are the ministry leaders, Life Group leaders of the church, and other nominated leaders. Together with the Church board, they form the Assembly of Leaders which is the review body of the church and provides checks and balances as well as a pool of leaders who can rotate into the Church Board.
