Biblical Leadership
We are an elder-led church, following the Biblical example we find in Scriptures.
Titus 1:5; Acts 14:23
Joshua Lauder (Pastor)
Pastor Josh has been married to Jenny for 20 years. They have 6 children: Keegan, Cheyenne, Chase, Christa, Chloe, and Charlotte. Josh first experienced the power of God’s Word in his mid-thirties and gave his life to Christ in 2011. He received his Master of Divinity in May 2022 from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. His hope and prayer are to instill in a people the passion to know God and make Him known through the sound faithful expositional preaching of his life-giving Word.
Elder Leadership The local church is led by a plurality of elders (Titus 1:5; Acts 14:23). The elders of the local church are considered the spiritual leaders of the church, who oversee the body of Christ, hold the pastor accountable to his duties, and fulfill the pastor’s responsibilities in his absence. The elder board has regular meetings to discuss and pray over the spiritual needs of the church. They assist as needed with preaching, teaching, visiting homes and hospitals, exercising church discipline, counseling, and organizing worship services.
