SERVING TOGETHER
at Fountain City Church
our leadership
We believe the church is the bride of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:25-27; Revelation 19:7-9), and therefore we trust in our Savior as the ultimate leader of both the global church as well as here at Fountain City Church. We also believe Scripture lays the groundwork for God to call believers to hold positions of leadership whom He works through day by day.
Scripture points to the office of “Elder” (Acts 14:3; Titus 1:6-9) to be the shepherds of the church family, entrusted with teaching the Gospel and leading us in Following Christ Completely. We also have pastors and directors who lead specific ministries within our church and invaluable administrative staff who support our church in countless ways.
