Church Leadership:
Elders. HC Pastors. Staff.
“The reason I left you in Crete was so that you may put in order all that was incomplete and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.” Titus 1:5
Elders
Church Project is overseen by a team of elders, a plurality of leaders. Elders oversee the general protection and direction, leadership, doctrine, and major decisions of Church Project. The Lead Pastor of each Church Project is the primary carrier of vision and mission, but is an equal Elder among the others.
Staff
Each Church Project operates with a lean staff. The majority of ministry at Church Project is carried out through our House Churches, overseen by the distributed leadership of our House Church Pastors. Additionally, the simplicity of our Sunday Gatherings reduces the need for additional staffing. Staff exists to equip the church to carry out ministry.
House Church Pastors
We want to change the way people see the Church, including the way they see pastors. In Scripture, the title and role of pastor was used to describe the leader of a decentralized House Church. We call, equip, and release capable Godly leaders who meet the qualifications of Elders listed in Titus 1:5-9 and 1 Timothy 3:1-7 to carry out all the functions of a pastor through House Churches: benevolence, weddings, baptisms, funerals, and more. House Church Pastors are unified under the leadership of each Church Project’s Elders.
Finance Team
Every Church Project's finances are handled by an outside accounting firm, assisted by an in-house bookkeeper, & overseen by a Board of Directors.
