Our Leadership

Countryside Christian Church is lead by Elders who are the shepherds of the church. All Elders at Countryside serve as one of a plurality of Elders who are considered co-equals and serve together as under-shepherds of the Lord Jesus Christ in the local church. The Elders are jointly responsible for the preaching and teaching of God’s Word, the care and spiritual welfare of the fellowship, and the spiritual leadership and oversight of the church under Christ, the chief Shepherd.
