Leadership at Lake

These leaders are the guiding force behind
our church's mission and spiritual direction.

At the heart of our community is the Elders’ Council, comprising twelve individuals elected by our congregation, inclusive of the Senior Pastor. This council is the guiding force behind our church's mission and spiritual direction.
