Mission
“TO SAVE THE UNSAVED”
Staff Culture
The church is led by a group of elders that make up a team called the Session. The Session is led by Pastor Todd and, over the years, has developed into a tight, unified leadership team that follows Pastor Todd well but also has the ability to think, act, and vote with their own conscience. There is mutual respect, love, and trust between Pastor Todd and the Session members.
