Meet Our Leaders

  • We believe that the Team of Elders are the highest delegated spiritual authority over LifeHouse Church (1 Timothy 3 v 1- 7, Titus 1 v 5 - 9, and 1 Peter 5 v 1 - 4).

    We believe that an Elders role is like that of a shepherd called by God to care for and pastor “His Flock”.

    Our Eldership team together with their wives understand that their first responsibility is to serve the members of Lifehouse. (Acts 20 v 28-30; 1 Peter 5 v 1-5).
