Overseeing Council
Our Overseeing Council consists of trusted leaders who guide and counsel the local house. These men and women offer wisdom, encouragement, and support to help the church remain spiritually healthy, missionally focused, and relationally strong. While not serving as elders in the traditional governmental sense, they bring covering, discernment, and prayerful insight to our local leadership team.
Council members are chosen based on demonstrated spiritual maturity, faithfulness in ministry, relationship, and a proven track record of love for the local church. They walk alongside our Lead Pastors, Dan and Joanna Grittner, offering guidance through prayer, counsel, and shared vision, always with the goal of strengthening the life and mission of the church.
