Leadership
Elders (also known in the New Testament as pastors, bishops, or overseers) are responsible for the direction of the work and worship of the church. As shepherds and pastors, they are also responsible for the spiritual safety and development of each member of the congregation. College View has been blessed over the years with good leadership and oversight. Currently, there are five elders at College View.
