Ministerial Staff
Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.
Senior Pastor
We are in a time of transition and searching for a Senior Pastor. We do not yet know who it will be but we believe that God knows and is already preparing our new pastor to accept our call. Our prayer is that God will prepare our pastor and family for their transition, protect them during this time and draw them closer to Him as they seek to be the pastoral family God has called them to be and the Logan pastoral family once it has been revealed!
