Meet the Elders

At Legacy Church, eldership is not about status or personal power, but about stewarding real spiritual authority with humility, service, and accountability. Our elders are first and foremost shepherds who are called to know, lead, feed, and protect the flock that belongs to Jesus. We embrace a model of shared leadership and mutual accountability. No one man carries the weight of the church alone. Together, our elders seek the Lord in unity, make decisions prayerfully, and lead by example in humility, integrity, and love.
