Leadership
Our Leadership Team
Meet the people who help lead and serve our church family. At Upper Room Fellowship, we believe in a plurality of leadership rather than a hierarchical structure. Our church is led by a team of elders who share responsibility for spiritual oversight, teaching, and pastoral care.
Our leadership team is committed to living out our core values: pursuing healthy relationships, accessing abundant wholeness, knowing our greatness, owning a supernatural lifestyle, treasuring His presence, and living the Gospel. We believe in showing up authentically, with kindness and honor, creating a nurturing community that loves genuinely.
Our Approach to Leadership
At Upper Room Fellowship, we believe that:
Leadership is shared:
We value a plurality of leadership where multiple gifted individuals serve together, providing balance and accountability.
Leadership is service:
Following Jesus' example, our leaders are first and foremost servants, using their influence to empower and equip others.
Leadership is diverse:
God has given different gifts to different people. Our leadership team reflects a variety of gifts, perspectives, and experiences.
Leadership is developmental:
We actively identify and develop new leaders, believing that leadership is not about position but influence.
Our leaders strive to:
- Lead with integrity and transparency
- Create healthy teams that value every member
- Make decisions through prayer and discernment
- Develop other leaders intentionally
- Maintain healthy work/life balance
- Continuously grow in character and competence
We're grateful for the dedicated men and women who serve our church family with humility, excellence, and passion for Jesus. Their faithful leadership makes our church's vision possible
