TJC is a church ruled by Jesus and led by elders. Biblically, the elders are responsible for the shepherding, protection, and oversight of the church, while meeting the qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Tiitus 1:5-9. At TJC, the overall policy, control, direction and management of the ministry, and finances shall be vested in the Elder body. The elders delegate and assign the task of operations, strategy, and execution of vision and policy to the staff, while maintaining oversight.

Deacons

TJC is served by biblically qualified deacons (1 Timothy 3:8-13). TJC Deacons serve our church by meeting the practical needs our congregation, both spiritually and physically. By doing so, they enable our staff and elders to accomplish the work assigned to them by God (Acts 6:1-7).
