About Us > Church Structure

Many people love God, but have become disillusioned with "the church". Therefore, a church that offers a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and growth in His Word, without the clutter of an overly structured environment, has great appeal. Because we want to maintain the integrity and purity of our spiritual purpose, we do not have a rigorous structure with multitudes of committees. You will never be pressed to give your money at our church. We believe that the giving of tithes and offerings is worship to Jesus Christ and is an expression of the relationship between the individual giver and the Lord. Whenever the church has a specific financial need, we simply present the need to the congregation and trust that the Lord will inspire and enable our people to give.

Our church government is representative, and thus avoids the extremes of a heavy-handed top-down form of government on the one hand and mob rule on the other. Our church government consists of a General and a District level which protects the doctrinal purity of the church, gives advice and consent to our major property decisions, and holds our pastor accountable. On the Local level, our church is governed by a Church Board which is elected annually by the congregation. Also, all major property decisions and the calling of the Senior Pastor are subject to the approval of the congregation.
