Scripture indicates that there are two categories of elders within the church body: salaried and non-salaried (1 Timothy 5:17-18). The vocational elder or “pastor” is an elder who is supported financially by the church and devoted full-time to its ministry. The church's call of a pastor is a call to eldership, whereby he is also a member of the Board of Elders. He must meet all the biblical qualifications of an elder. The pastor shares equal authority with the other elders.

Our current pastor is Dan Aanderud. Dan has served many years as a church planting missionary in six different mission fields. Dan has a special heart for discipleship which is seen in part through his extensive counselling ministry, helping people move toward maturity in Christ.
