Our Leadership
Jesus is the head of the church, but we believe that He calls people to be servant-leaders.
Interim Rev. Bernie Michaud
At the age of 22, I accepted Jesus as my savior and within a year or so felt the call to serve Him with my life. I began by serving in any way that I could: as a youth director, a deacon and then later on as a director of pastoral care. In 1995 I retired from my secular job and from that time on worked to assist a few church plants. I was ordained by the 4C's in 2009 at which time I was serving as an assistant pastor from there went on to spend the last 9 years serving in 5 churches as an interim pastor. My wife Diane and I have been married for 42 years. We have 3 children and 13 grandchildren and one great grand child. I enjoy spending time outside in my garden along with walking each day for 3 to 5 miles. I also enjoy kayaking and sitting on the beach at the ocean.
Through the years
Elders and Deacons
Elders
We believe that Scripture teaches that every church should be led by a group of elders, which includes the pastor. We are thankful to have a group of committed elders who serve as overseers of the congregation and are dedicated to our mission.
Our Elders: Jim Dick, George Simmons & Ron Newman
Deacons
We believe that deacons are called by God to help minister to the physical needs of people in our church family. Our deacons are a loving group of Christians who have compassionate hearts and a desire to care for the needs of our church family as well as others in the community.
Lead Deacon: Ed Rankin
Ministry Leaders
We have a number of ministry teams at the church: Altar, Building and Grounds, Children and Youth, Finance, Hospitality, Missions, Nursery, Outreach. Each is lead by a dedicated team leader, who organizes the team and delegates tasks.
