Church Leadership
Grace uses a congregational form of governance in which members of the church elect gifted men and women to positions of leadership for specified terms.
Foundations Team
Church members elect 6-8 men and women to work with the pastor, setting priorities for the church and monitoring the church's spiritual health and vitality. The Foundations Team takes its vision from the New Testament's model for church elders.
Members for 2025 are: Juanita McKee (Co-Chair), Joe Crowson (Co-Chair), Dot Hoover, Jennifer Pierpont, Janet Misiaszek, Paul Johnson, and Chris Gonzalez.
Operations Team
Church members elect 6-8 men and women to oversee church operations, making certain that the physical, logistical, and technical needs of the church body, ministry teams, and church staff are adequately provided for. The Operations Team takes its vision from the New Testament's model for church deacons.
Members for 2025 are: Larry Chamberlain (Chair), Larry Pace (Vice-Chair), Gary Edgar, Sue Umberger, Stephanie Zibrat, Lewis Marshall, Ray Varcoe, Brenda Hochstein, and ex-officio members James Marvin, and Joyce Chamberlain.
Leadership Search Team
Church members elect four or more men and women to identify and present to the congregation nominees for leadership positions on the FT, OT, and LST.
Members for 2025 are: Rick Sims (Chair), Scott Meyer, Jody Shipton, Donna Bloomberg, Nancy Ritzmann, and Rod Peterson.
