Our Team

North Valley is a Staff led, and Board protected church composed of qualified Elders, that are non-staff, except the Lead Pastor. The purpose of the board, on behalf of the congregation, is to see to it that the church (1) is protected and the Lead Pastor is protected to ensure the church can achieve her mission to fulfill the great commission and great commandments. (2) Observes biblical standards. The specific job of the board is to ensure the implementation of its primary and occasional responsibilities, which include but are not limited to the following…

• The Board prays for the congregation, the pastoral staff, and themselves.
