As a multi-site church, we are blessed with broad-based leadership. The overall church leadership around Senior Pastor Friedhelm Holthuis is supported by our elected internal advisory board, an external advisory board, and the finance advisory board. Each campus is led by campus pastors.

Interner Beirat
Our internal advisory board supports, advises and oversees our overall church leadership in important decisions, keeping the entire church in mind. The advisory board does not deal with day-to-day business issues, but focuses on broader and more fundamental topics.
