The Elders are all strong willed independent thinking persons who are not shy in expressing their thoughts and opinions.
The Senior pastor is the primary pulpit pastor. The Executive Pastor handles more of the administrative duties but also has a pulpit ministry. There are other pastors on staff for the children's ministry, teens, college age, etc. They all operate in a collaborative enviroment where all are encouraged to express their thoughts on anything to do with the church and its ministries.

Really sounds like a great Church to me! Has it been like that long or is it a fairly new method?
