The Church places a strong emphasis on Team Ministry with leadership and responsibility shared more fully within the fellowship. The Leadership recognises that all members have a valuable contribution to make towards the life of the church.
The current Leadership team consists of one full-time Minister (Team Leader), as well as 10 Deacons. One full-time Minister and a full-time Young People's Minister have recently left.
Deacons are nominated by members and elected for a two-year period. They are eligible to serve for a total of six years before standing down for a minimum of one year.
Elections take place at the Church Members' Meeting in November each year. The Diaconate, following consultation with church members nominates the Secretary to the Diaconate and the Treasurer and the Church Meeting confirms the appointments. Given the special nature of these posts, each may, in exceptional circumstances, be extended beyond the six-year period.
Ordained ministers and staff in Christian leadership are ex-officio members of the Diaconate.
Deacons' meetings are fortnightly, with alternate meetings specifically focussing on prayer and discussion of spiritual progress as opposed to financial and other business matters. All meetings take place in a relaxed and informal manner.
Church members meetings are held after a fellowship lunch bi-monthly on a Sunday afternoon, except August and December. These meetings have the final decision making authority in all matters relating to the affairs of the church, as they seek the will of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and under the Lordship of Christ.
The meetings seek to be informal and inclusive in style and content.
Other paid staff include a Church Administrator, Maintenance Man and a Housekeeper and cleaning team all of whom work on a part-time basis.
