Elders

Elders play a vital role in the leadership of the church. The men selected for this role have been identified based on the biblical character qualifications and their track record of service at MissionView. They play an active role in caring for the staff, championing the mission of MissionView Church, discerning false doctrine and praying for the church.

One of the functions of our deacon ministry is to help meet the needs of those in the church and to get people involved in using their gifts to do the same.
