LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AT BATTLEGROUND COMMUNITY CHURCH
Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church. We seek to follow His leadership in all things. The Lord has set forth in His Word the leadership structure for His Church. The two offices of the Church are Pastors/Elders and Deacons.
PASTORS/ELDERS
Battleground Community is led by a capable team of God-called Pastors/Elders. We use the term “Pastor” to identify those who receive their living from the work of ministry. “Elders” are those who voluntarily serve the Lord’s Church as shepherds alongside those who are “double-honored."
Learn more about the Pastors/Staff and Elders.
DEACONS
Battleground Community is served by a team of Deacons who are responsible as leaders in various areas of ministry. The Deacons involve others in carrying out those servant responsibilities so that the Pastors/Elders can devote themselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. Areas of ministry include: First Impressions, hospital visitation, Baptism, Communion, and home-bound visitations.
MEMBERSHIP
Every member is a minister by the power of God. The congregation makes all major decisions together. Members are expected to engage on a level of worshipping, studying, and serving.
