Leadership

These are the men and women whose priesthood, gifts and personalities give consistent and consequential leadership to the life of our church. Each brings an essential capacity to the table and we are all nourished by their presence in our lives and on the team here at Grand Parkway.

Elders

We believe that the elder structure is the Biblical model of Church governance and leadership. Our elders function as a body not a board – with three main responsibilities: shepherding, governance and accountability (1 Peter 5:2). The elders are expected to model servant-leadership in a manner that empowers our various ministries to fulfill their Biblical responsibility.

Deacons

At Grand Parkway, we follow the origin of deacons (Acts 6) by appointing lead servants among our congregation to care for the needs of our people. These men and women field the primary responsibility of a task and invite others to help them bear it. Our deacons attend to the practical details of church life such as administration, maintenance, and the care of church members with physical needs. Our staff is better able to pastor our people precisely because the deacons are coordinating much of the church’s servicing. This is a Biblical picture of unity: deacons humbly pursue their service while pastors teach and lead, each embracing their God-given role.
