What’s the Leadership structure of Great Oaks?
A. Our structure consists of a Central Church organized and operating like most contemporary Christian churches today, but the backbone of our structure is Home Churches. The Central church is led by a largely seminary-trained staff that produces the Sunday service, coordinates ministry development and activities, and provides oversight to the Home Churches. Home Church Leaders may not have seminary training, but must qualify as Elders in accordance with the standards set forth in 1 Timothy 3. The Home Church Leaders also appoint others in their group to assist in various internal ministry functions as required, and are authorized to restructure the service format to suit the needs of their particular group.
