Leadership at Chisenhall Fellowship
Every healthy church needs leaders who walk with God and invest in people. At Chisenhall Fellowship, our leadership team exists to teach, equip, and model faithfulness—never to impress.
Our goal is clarity, humility, and consistency.
Our Pastors
At Chisenhall Fellowship, pastors serve in the biblical role of elder, providing spiritual oversight, teaching, and shepherding. All pastors invests personally in the church’s people, modeling what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Deacons
Deacons are a plurality of servants who build unity.
Deacons function in the plural. In their origin in Acts 6:1-7, there were seven men chosen to serve as deacons. There are only two other places in the Bible that mention “deacons” (diakonoi) specifically: Philippians 1:1 and 1 Timothy 3:8-13. All of them are plural.
Deacons care for physical needs. Churches have needs and meeting them is necessary and a blessing. This both shows care to members and frees up Pastors to “devote themselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4). Additionally, one of the three Deacons’ qualifications that is distinct from Pastors’ is that they are “not greedy for dishonest gain” (1 Tim 3:8). This seems to imply that Deacons will be handling money, thus having more temptation to take advantage of a charity system.
Deacons work for the health and unity of the church. When “a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution” (Acts 6:1), this was not simply a logistical issue; it was about church health and unity. This was actually a case of favoritism that threatened to divide the church. Deacons were appointed to lead the way in maintaining unity through a fair distribution of food and money.
Ministry Team Leaders
Ministry Team Leaders coordinate specific areas of ministry within our church.
Like any family, it takes a lot to keep a church running smoothly. We have Ministry Team Leaders overseeing everything from Infants to Mowing to Worship Services, and each has a Deacon for guidance.
These leaders are not celebrities - they are everyday people committed to discipling others, serving faithfully, and helping the church run smoothly.
