Ministry Leadership Ethos Statement
Leadership in a local church is a great privilege and a solemn responsibility. No believer is perfect; we’re all in process. However, Scripture lays out some additional qualifications for ministry leaders. This is why we require our leaders to be in agreement with and by God’s grace abiding by our Leadership Ethos Statement. This applies to any leadership position related to imparting content, making decisions on behalf of the church, or influencing our atmosphere.

We are seeking God’s will over what is best for Community of Hope, not just our own preferences.
