Leadership Team

Here at MRCC, our church is led by a Leadership Team consisting of the Pastoral Staff and a group of chosen Elders.

We are an Elder-led church. What does that mean?

As a team the Elders Board meets monthly to pray over and discuss overall church life. Most day-to-day decisions are made internally at the Office level; bigger decisions are brought to the Leadership team for discussion and approval; and significant decisions affecting the greater church body will be brought to the church membership for affirmation. More than merely an administrative board, the Leadership Team is called by God to oversee the affairs of the church in every matter of faith and life.

MRCC Elders serve on a rotation of one three-year term, with an option of serving a successive term. After that second term, an individual must take a minimum of one year off of the Leadership Team. That doesn’t mean that the individual stops serving the church; just in the office of the elder.

Elders are chosen through a call to the church membership to submit nominations to the current leadership team, when openings on the Board arise. These nominations are then discussed and prayed over by the Leadership Team, who then brings their recommendations for Eldership back to the membership for affirmation.

An Elder in the church is someone with an affirmed call on their life to serve the church body in this integral position of godly influence. These individuals are spiritually mature Christians – not necessarily just old in years. It is an honour to serve in this responsibility. Please remember to pray for this group of leaders, as much of what comes from their deliberations directly affects the life, vision, and direction of the church.

Our Leadership Team (our Elders) is made up of the following individuals:
