Our Leadership and Oversight

What kind of leadership structure does Ironbridge have? How are decision made?

Ironbridge has several categories of leadership. Jesus is the one all of us are looking to for direction and decisions. We are congregational which means the church body has final authority in managing its internal and external affairs. We have a Pastoral Staff that oversees the regular operation, teaching, and equipping of the church. We also have a Leadership Team, approved by the congregation, that handles responsibilities ranging from support to accountability. And we have a Deacon body that serves in spiritual guidance and ministry care.

Our Small Group leaders provide front-line care for the people who attend their groups. This is where people build close relationships and our Small Group Leaders provide guidance, encouragement, and support.

According to Scripture, participation and involvement in a local church is expected of a believer. At Ironbridge Church, we view our members as partners. Partnership implies participation and involvement. Ironbridge is not a club, rather we are a family on mission and our partners are an important part of accomplishing our mission.
