officers of the congregation


Jesus tells us that He is the Good Shepherd who cares for His sheep; His sheep know His voice and they follow Him. He also appoints under-shepherds to guide His Church and serve as overseers of the flock. We have pastors, elders and deacons who have committed to love Jesus' sheep and tend each one.
