Authority and Accountability

Authority in the local church belongs to Jesus Christ who is its head. As such, neither the pastors nor the congregation have exclusive rights to authority in the church. They must mutually submit to Christ.

Pastors are called to lead the congregation by providing leadership and care in an attitude of love and humility while never lording it over the congregation.

The pastors are accountable to Christ, to one another and to the congregation. No pastor has more authority to make decisions than any other pastor affirmed by the congregation.
