Leadership

Fellowship has three full time staff members and is led by an elder board comprised of five laymen. We are currently reviewing candidates for our recently vacated Directional Leader/Teaching Pastor position.  We are accepting resumes from qualified applicants with appropriate ministry training, experience and leadership qualities. We welcome inquiries regarding this opening. Our Elder Board is overseeing the search process and all inquiries should be directed to Todd Brackins. We are excited about the direction of Fellowship and know that God is preparing us for wonderful things ahead.

Our leadership team is supported by a wonderful group of part-time staff members, volunteer ministry team-leaders, community group leaders and coaches.  We are big fans of team-based ministry.  We believe the burdens and blessings of ministry should be shared, and we should all participate in the work and the rewards of serving God’s kingdom. Now, let's introduce you to our staff!
