Heritage Leadership

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28

Heritage Christian Fellowship is blessed to be led by a strong group of Spirit-led men whom God has called as shepherds of His flock. All issues of oversight pertaining to the Body at Heritage are done through the unanimous agreement of its Leadership. We believe strongly in a shared leadership structure under the ultimate oversight of our Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ.

Biblically, the focal point of local church leadership is the elder. An elder is one of a plurality of biblically qualified men who jointly shepherd and oversee a local body of believers. Heritage is governed by a board of elders, comprised of both staff and non-staff members, who are committed to the Lord, to one another, to the church body. The board’s oversight includes, but is not limited to, teaching, protecting, leading, disciplining, equipping and caring for the corporate church body and its individual members as well as the oversight of all ministry, operations and finances of the church. The Board of Directors is also responsible for being obedient to the scriptures in the doctrine of the church, establishing the overall vision of the church and appointing new elders.
