Church Representative

We have developed a leadership structure which facilitates wider input from the church into the leadership team which we have called ‘church representative.’ Every 6 months we will invite 1 or 2 people from within the church to join the CLT they will participate fully in leadership discussion and decision making, bringing a wider church perspective to vision & strategy, cultural momentum and the spiritual life of the church. After 6 months has passed we will either ask those individuals to serve for another term or ask others to replace them. Ben Munyaneza is currently serving the church in this capacity.
