Community of Leaders


The Community of Leaders is what we call the leadership group of our church (other churches may call it the leadership team, oversight team, eldership, vestry, kirk-session etc).

It is a group of 8-12 people, some staff and non-staff members (we see that balance being important) who seek to:

  • listen, support, encourage each other in our individual journey with Jesus and our leadership & service within CCE.
  • listen to God, to discern His leading and His heart for our community and beyond.
  • grow and move the church with key big-picture conversations
  • have an overview of the church, while empowering others to lead in their areas of gift and function

Most of the day-to-day running of the church happens in smaller teams or “hubs” where the details are attended to and most decision making happens.

You can find our more on how we came to have a Community of Leaders, what are hubs, and other questions that are often asked on our FAQ’s on Community of Leaders.
