Ministry Teams

Our Deacons are spiritual leaders within the church, and operate on a Gift-based Ministry model. The teams developed out of this model are designed to meet the needs of our community as well as help individuals discover the way they minister best. If you are interested in getting involved with any team, please see a Deacon or staff member and they will help you connect with the team leaders.
