Divine Servant

Thank you for visiting the Pastoral Care leadership page. Whether this is your first time to visit or you have visited the site numerous times, welcome.

Leadership is a very biblical concept; from the earliest historical records of Abraham to the apostles as they lead the early church. As a leader you get the opportunity to "reach, teach and help people in Jesus' name."

Each member of the church is uniquely designed to minister within the body and we appreciate you and we are thankful for you. We want to help you grow and develop personally and as a leader. Wherever you serve we want to partner with you and provide you with the best possible support.

Our goal is for you to find the leadership page informative, inspirational and relevant. With that goal in mind you will find some articles, web pages and other items focusing on leadership.

Please browse around the pages and give us some feedback. This is your section and it needs to address your interests.
