GOVERNANCE Cedarbrook is an elder-led church. The elders set the goals of the church, the values the church is to embody, and the policies the church is to follow. The Senior Pastor and the ministry staff implement strategies and programs to meet those goals, embody those values, and follow those policies. At Cedarbrook, we call these men, the “Leadership Team.” On the other side of our governance is our deacons and deaconesses, or our “Board of Directors.” These men and women lead and steward the operations and finances of the church so the staff and elders can focus on ministry and the spiritual care of our church family. Much of the New Testament sets forth descriptions of both what church leaders should look like and how the church should be governed. In the Bible, there is great diversity in who leads where and how. But what stands out is that all leaders are servant-oriented, sacrificial, Spirit-led, and wisdom-based. All of our leaders serving as an elder or as a deacon or deaconess possesses these qualities for leadership.

KEN JACKSON Spiritual Formation Pastor When Cedarbrook held its first Sunday morning service way back in 1989, I was the very first visitor through the door. Almost immediately, a pretty young woman named Molly, with a warm and infectious smile, greeted me. A year and a half later, we were married, and two years after that I came on staff here as a pastor. Almost three decades later, I am still in love with my wife and this church. Molly and I have two sons we are very proud of (Peter and Daniel), two wonderful daughters-in-law’s (Brittany and Courtney), four grandchildren we adore, (Emma, Grace (deceased), Camden, and Eden) and one very large and lovable Labradoodle (Tucker). Sometimes, I cannot believe that I get to do what I do for a living. When I have free time, I love to read, take walks with Molly and Tucker, or hike the trails on Sugarloaf Mountain. ken@cedarbrook.org
