LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR GOVERNENCE
PASSIONATELY CONNECTING PEOPLE TO CHRIST
What is the leadership structure of Reverb Church?
The leadership of Reverb Church is made up of a group of both staffed and non-staffed governing elders that worship in this local church. In addition to the governing elders, there is an appointed staff that executes the day to day operations of the church.
What is the role of an elder?
Spiritual Role - The Elders are to covenant together with the congregation and the Lead Pastor for the development of the spiritual life of the church. These men govern the mission, vision, values, and doctrine of the church in a spiritual capacity to create and maintain stability.
Definition Non-Staff Elders - These Elders are men who function within the local church but are not members of the pastoral staff of the church. They are men who meet the Biblical qualifications for Elders and function in that calling, but derive their income from sources other than the church.
Scriptures on Biblical Eldership - 1 Tim. 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 5:1-4.
What percentage of staffed and non-staffed elders serve?
To protect the integrity of the church, the Bylaws of Reverb Church states that no more than 50% of the elder board can be paid staff. 50% or more MUST be lay elders not employed by Reverb Church. All governing elders worship at Reverb Church.
Who decides budgets and how finance/generosity is allocated?
Budgets are written annually by our administrative team but reviewed and adopted each year by the governing elders. The budgets versus actuals are reviewed several times a year by the elder board. This promotes transparency, stewardship, and accountability for the entire church.
HOW often do elders meet?
The governing elders meet twice a month.
Is Reverb Church a part of a denomination?
Reverb Church is a part of a few different networks of churches to stay relationally connected i.e.(The Association of Related Churches, Next Level Relational Network, and Collective Churches). However, Reverb Church is governed and operated at a local level without external governance and is a non-denominational church.
