Interim Leadership
As a newly established church, we have come together to form an interim leadership team. This group of dedicated individuals is here to guide and support our congregation during this formative period. We look forward to the day when we can appoint our own elders and deacons, but until then, this interim team will work diligently to foster our community and nurture our spiritual growth. Join us as we build our foundation together!
