The Leadership Exploration Team, which is comprised of eight volunteers from the congregation of Sanctuary, has been meeting prayerfully for six months to establish Biblically-based principles and recommendations for Sanctuary’s initial governance structure. After countless hours of prayer, study, discussion, and debate, the Leadership Exploration Team believes that the Holy Spirit is leading Sanctuary to an Elder-led governance structure with a combination of staff and non-staff Elders.
The document found here, reflects this Biblically-based local church governance structure. It is intended to enable the congregation of Sanctuary to live out their God-given vision and values and to fulfill their purpose which is, “To glorify God by building an authentic body of Christ followers who are faithfully proclaiming the Gospel and are being transformed by its power to live and love like Jesus.”
The Leadership Exploration Team will be hosting an open house Sunday, September 18th at the times indicated below in the Cafe. This will be an informal gathering where we would love to answer any questions that you may have. If you have anyone that you think meets the qualifications of an Elder at Sanctuary, we would love to talk with them about seeing if this is something God has called them to pursue.
Open House Times: 9:00-9:30, 10:45-11:15 (following first service), and 12:45-1:15 (following second service)
