our Chief Shepherd
Jesus Christ is the founder and Chief Shepherd of the church.
He is the founder and perfecter of our faith. He is the undisputed leader. Our church is full of forgiven imperfect sinners who are called saints because of Jesus. Our greatest desire is to make much of Jesus and His saving and sanctifying grace. All pastors/elders/leaders serve under His headship as we seek to make Him known.
