LEADERSHIP
COUNCIL
The Leadership Council is
comprised of people God has placed in primary leadership
responsibilities in relational and ministry program areas. Members of
this Council will serve as long as they remain in the leadership
responsibility that included them in the Leadership Council. The focus
consists of two tracks (1) taking care of ministry matters that are
current and (2) seeking out the path ahead—what God is showing us
concerning these ministries.
