Grace Church is a multi-site, United Methodist Church. Given the diversity of locations and the multiplicity of needs both within and outside our campuses, we have carefully developed a leadership structure that can manage the complexities of our church. There are two basic leadership teams:
Grace Leadership Council: The Lead Pastor of Grace Church directs this team. They have a “global” responsibility to oversee the whole of the Grace Church family. This team is made up of the Campus Pastors/Directors from each campus and at least one lay person from each campus.
Campus specific Guide Teams: These campus specific teams are charged with governance responsibilities and are accountable to the Grace Leadership Council. Laity and select staff from the specific campus can serve on the Guide Team. The Campus Pastor leads this team. This team is made up of staff and laity. The Lead Pastor is invited to attend all meetings.
