Our Board

Together Church operates under the guidance of a dedicated board of five individuals who work closely with our lead pastors to shape the direction and vision of our community.

The board provides a higher level of governance, offering valuable insight and support to our pastors, while also keeping them accountable. They strive to ensure that our church remains true to our values and mission. With their leadership and guidance, we are confident that our church will thrive.
