CHURCH LEADERSHIP

We Aim for Harmony

We maintain unity through consensus as we discern the leadership of Jesus Christ over our church through communication and cooperation with each other.

MINISTRY TEAM LEADERS

We Don't Do This Alone

The leadership of our Mandarin-speaking sister congregation and the advice of former elders is instrumental in carrying out our mission and values.
