Our leaders

The church’s leadership structure consists of a Church Board, Servant Leaders, Elders, and Staff. Included in this structure are Ministry Team Leaders and Small Group Leaders. A couple of times a year this leadership group gathers for vision casting, coordination, prayer and encouragement.

Church Board

The Church Board provides oversight of all policies, administration, finances, staff and vision. The Church Board meets monthly and consists of the Senior Pastor, Church Secretary, Chairman, an Elder and two members.

Servant Leadership Team

The Servant Leadership Team (SLT) provides oversight of all of the ministries and strategies being undertaken within the church community. Each member of the SLT has an area of ministry to oversee. Leadership is provided to groups of Ministry Team Leaders, who in turn focus on particular individual ministries. Each individual ministry is directed at a particular part of our vision to become a Biblically functioning community.

Elders

The practice at Belconnen Baptist Church is to affirm elders for a period of 4 years. Elders are not included in the BBC Constitution as Church Officers, but operate as a ministry team with a longer time perspective supporting the Pastors, Church Board and Servant Leaders. They are available for pastoral ministry, prayer and guidance.

Staff

The current staff team comprises a Senior Pastor, a Pastor of Integration, a Pastor for Youth and Young Adults, and an Associate Pastor - Children. The church also employs an Administrator, Finance Officer, Office Secretary, Office Assistant and Property Officer. They have been called by the church to lead, equip and care for the people in their areas of ministry.
