Staff & Ministry Leaders
At Grace Bible Church, the work of ministry is joyfully carried out by the members of the body, most of whom serve as volunteers. A few individuals serve in designated “staff” roles. These brothers and sisters are financially supported by the church in order to give more of their time and energy to the work of ministry. Under the care and direction of the pastor-elders, ministry leadership labors to strengthen and support ongoing needs in the ministry and life of the church.
