Our Leadership Structure
ELDERS At FBCL, the two primary responsibilities of Elders are to devote themselves to prayer and to God’s word. These two disciplines help us protect the integrity our church, our pastor, and what we teach. More items fall under their care including aiding the co-pastors in determining vision and direction of the church, administering church discipline, and other areas in which their assistance is needed.
ADMINISTRATIVE DEACONS Administrative Deacons are tasked with aiding the co-pastors and the staff in the area of administration. Based on their spiritual giftedness, experience, and passions, they serve in one of three areas: personnel, finance, or building and grounds. These men support our church by assisting in major decisions with regard to their specific area of expertise.
CONGREGATIONAL CARE DEACONS Congregational Care Deacons act as extensions of the ministry of the Senior Pastor as it pertains to shepherding the congregation. Their role consists of visiting the sick, the shut-in, and tending to the needs of widows. They also aid in the observance of communion.
CHURCH STAFF The staff at FBCL is responsible to plan and execute programs, events, and activities that help fulfill our mission. They work with Elders, Administrative Deacons, and Congregational Care Deacons to achieve that mission and ensure that the spiritual needs of our congregation are met.
