Elders are the overseers or shepherds of our church.

Elders are mature people of prayer and sound judgment who are practiced in seeking to discern God's will. Deacons are the hands of compassion and service in our church. They are responsible for ministries to those who are in need. Deacons are people who have hearts for helping and serving.
