Leadership

The Elder Board is the governing body of the church, made up of laymen and our Lead Pastor. They have the ultimate responsibility for the church. 

THE ELDER BOARD

Grace Fellowship Church is ruled by a group of spiritually mature men that the New Testament calls elders. They are responsible for the oversight and direction of the church.  They are to lead by example, to pray, to ensure the spiritual health of the church, and to create an environment in which our vision can be fulfilled. The qualifications for elders are found in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.  The congregation nominates and confirms all new elders.  If you would like to contact the elders by e-mail, please click here.  Below is a list of our current elders.
