What is Union’s leadership structure?

We are Council led, Staff driven, Served by our Deacons and Congregationally Accountable. What does that mean?

  • Council Led: those appointed by the church membership, and guided by the Holy Spirit, with the responsibility to shepherd Christ’s church by spiritually feeding, leading, and protecting God’s people. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, Acts 20:28-31)

  • Staff Driven: paid staff are given the responsibility and authority to direct ministry, encourage the disconnected, and train volunteers, while being accountable to one another and the Council. (Acts 6:3-4, 1 Cor 9:7-9)

  • Served by our Deacons: those appointed by the church membership to pray for the congregation, serve communion, visit the elderly and members who are home-bound and support the efforts of the congregation at large. (1 Timothy 3:8-13)

  • Congregationally Accountable: the congregation is responsible for voting in the leadership and keep them accountable to scripture and the church membership.

Staff

Our church is blessed with a high-capacity, fun-loving group of men and women. At Union Church, we hire based on three overarching criteria: character(Godliness), competence (developed skill sets), and chemistry (plays well with others). Together, these servants form our ministry staff. Click on each photo to learn more about our team.

TRUSTEE BOARD


The trustee ministry is designed to gather a group of people to bring glory to God by ensuring that our facilities reflect and promote the glorious God which we serve. Trustees are also responsible for ensuring an environment that allows others to focus on the glory of God reasonably free from distraction (concerning the facilities). The trustee ministry is a ministry. The trustees reflect the person and mission of God by redeeming things, taking things that are broken and making the new. God himself declared at the end of the phase of eternity: “He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’” (Revelation 21:5)
