Elders, Deacons, and Members
Trailhead is an elder-led, member-engaged church.  Elders serve by leading.  In the Bible, every local church is led by elders, men who are qualified, mature, and called to lead the local church.  The elders are not just a decision-making board, though.  They are called first to be pastors (another word for shepherds).  Our Lead Pastor is Steve Mizel and he serves with an elder team who manage the care, growth, and direction of the church.  Deacons (a word that means “servant”) lead by serving.  Trailhead’s deacons lead a team or a team of teams who serve our church in vital ways.  Elders and Deacons are part of a greater group who are members at Trailhead Church.  Members are the people of Trailhead who have entered into a covenant relationship with each other to love one another, hold each other accountable, and help each other grow.  Trailhead has membership classes twice a year for people who are investigating or are ready to enter into membership.
