Jesus leads the Church; under His authority, Remnant practices a leadership model consisting of a staff team who equip members for the work of ministry and the biblical offices of elder and deacon (1 Timothy 3; Philippians 1:1). Our vision for leadership is to have staff, elders, and deacons providing spiritual leadership where elders oversee and shepherd the church, staff prepare people to carry out the mission of Jesus in New York City, and deacons serve in various ministries and support church unity.
