Shepherd the flock of God which is among you.
1 Peter 5:2
Our church leadership is built upon the godly instruction outlined by Paul: men who are temperate, prudent, respectful, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine, gentle, uncontentious, free from the love of money, and holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. Each of these men are approachable and willing to answer any questions you may have.
