Leadership Team

Leadership Team

City North has a church membership of approximately 150 active members. These are baptised Christians who are committed to the life and ministries of the church.

The church is led by a team of pastors and elders (known as the Church Council) who are appointed by and accountable to the members.

Members Meetings are held four (or more) times a year, where the pastors and elders report on matters affecting church life and seek the support of the members on any major issues as required.
