Lengthen and Strengthen: Leaders and Deacons past 5 James Silley

Preached on
October 7, 2026
Throughout the history of the Church, leaders are raised and appointed. We believe that in order to prepare for what God is calling us to, raising leaders is a vital task. This Sunday, James shared how we are actively looking to raise leaders across the life of the church, including appointing Deacons to work alongside the elders in leading the church.
