Leadership at Black Rock

At Black Rock we know our church’s opportunity to inspire hope and ignite faith in every person we meet comes as we grow our leadership. Many times our ceiling for new opportunities comes from a great harvest, but the leaders are few. 

Thank you for taking a few moments to read through the content on this page. As you read, see if there is a next step in your leadership through our training, survey, or current leadership positions that you might be able to fill.

Leaders at Black Rock

A “leader at Black Rock” is a volunteer who has one or more of these:

  1. Spiritual Influence (teaching/coaching/mentoring/group leader) 
  2. Managerial oversight over other volunteers (team leader/volunteer coordinator)
  3. Decision-Making power (Elders, Board, Committee, Supervisory team)

Our desire is that each leader live out these values:

  1. Worship in a Service weekly
  2. Connect in a Group
  3. Serve on a Team
  4. Living out Christian character both in the church and in your personal life – We ask all leaders to sign a character commitment.
