Leadership

Structure

Recognizing Jesus Christ as the head of the church, the governance of Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church can be described as elder led, deacon served, and congregationally governed.

This means that:

  • Overall leadership (care of souls, direction of program, oversight of teaching, and shaping of doctrine) is given by the body of elders.
  • Deacons serve alongside the elders, managing the temporal affairs of the church (finances, property, and various committees as designated by the elders and congregation).

    • All ministry, however, takes place with the participation and approval of the congregation who selects the elders and deacons and votes on large-scale decisions. Meet our leaders by clicking on the "elders" and "deacons" tabs below.
