But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Elders
Some of our elders are vocational elders. That is, they are a part of our paid pastoral team. Others are non-vocational, or lay elders. Together, under the Lord Jesus, our elders lead us. An elder's status (vocational or non-vocational) is listed in his title below.
