Leadership Values

In the early church, there was a specific, organized structure of leadership.  This leadership structure was created for smaller gatherings of believers who met primarily in homes, as that was the way the New Testament church started out.  Key leaders called “apostles” would appoint several specific leaders for each church of 30-60 people.  This intentional organization was essential for the church, which was and is a growing and vibrant divine reflection of God.

Today’s expression of leadership in the church has the same heart and mission as it did in New Testament times.  However, the church today has multi-faceted expressions and therefore, the leadership structures vary from one to another. Vintage Faith is a growing church, much larger than a single house church.  Its leadership structure is designed to match the complexities of a larger faith community and reflect the specific context and mission we have, while at the same time remain faithful to what the Bible teaches regarding leadership in the church. 

Furthermore, in today’s culture, the term “pastor” has a variety of definitions.  In the context of Vintage Faith Church, there are leaders in our congregation, both paid and non-paid, who serve as “pastors” in the way the Scriptures describe this term.  We use the term "pastor," along with “director,” to communicate and clarify roles for the overall leadership of the church. We also use those terms to make it easier for the community to know who to direct communication toward when they have questions or comments or need to talk.

Leadership Structure

In listing "leaders" for a church on a web page like this, it is actually difficult to simply have a limited list of staff leadership when there are so many people in the Vintage Faith Church community who are not on "paid staff" but are serving in very critical roles, with major responsibility in the church.  Philosophically, we are striving to develop a culture where the majority of paid staff of Vintage Faith Church focuses their time on supporting and training those in the church for the work of the ministry
(Ephesians 4:11-12).

In addition to staff, there are people in the church who serve as Ministry Team Leaders, overseeing major areas of ministry. There are also people who serve on the teams themselves.  These leaders play a crucial role in what happens each week in the life of the church, with many of the Team Leaders serving in equipping roles, just like a paid staff person would.  Through this site, we will continue to highlight these incredibly gifted and passionate leaders and the ministries they lead.

We also have a Leadership Council made up of 9 men and women who oversee the vision and mission of the church.

Our staff is currently made up of the following people serving in both part-time and full-time roles:
