LEADERSHIP — Grace Church Waco

PASTORS

Grace Church is led by a plurality of pastor/elders who share equal authority among various responsibilities of leadership. Our pastors are biblically qualified and approved men who lead our church through teaching, counseling, care, service, prayer, and oversight. Following the model of 1 Timothy 3 these men provide an example for the church in both character and conduct. We believe that the Biblical term for the office of pastor in the New Testament is synonymous for the term used for the office of overseer or elder, so we use the term pastor and elder interchangeably to describe one Biblical office of leadership.

DEACONS

Deacons are the servants of the church. They work behind the scenes to lead our members into serving one another and remove roadblocks to the mission of making Jesus known. All of our deacons are called out of our congregation to provide examples to us of Godly character and Christ-like sacrifice.
