The pastoral team is led by the Lead Pastor. This team oversees the day-to-day ministry and operations of the church. These pastors serve the congregation and are responsible for the development of the spiritual life of the church.

The Trustees are non-staff members appointed by the Lead Pastor to oversee the finances of the church. Trustees serve in 4 year terms. They provide accountability and counsel to the Lead Pastor as well as protection for the church regarding major fiduciary commitments of the church.

The Overseers are pastors of respected congregations who love Rhythm Church and are willing to provide spiritual protection to the church. They may be called in to help in accountability matters relating to the Lead Pastor if requested by the Elders or Trustees.

It can be limiting, trying to explain yourself in only words and historical accomplishments. People have much more depth than a few paragraphs can contain. We’d much rather have conversations. Find a time to get to know us! We’d love to connect.
