The Ark

Leadership

The local leadership of the Ark Church is presbytery in nature and consists of three groups of people:

TRUSTEES
These leaders are legally in charge of the charity and seek to maintain good governance in all ways.

Dr Jayam Lazarus, Pauline, and Paul 


DEACONS
These leaders are not legally responsible for the good running of the charity, but have emerged as those who serve the church and have a significant contribution to make to its leadership

Karen

Karen's role on the leaders' team is first and foremost to highlight relevant social and political issues to the church as a whole with a view to people praying about the issues or helping as appropriate.  She also acts as secretary for the Leaders meetings and prepares the church accounts.

Jonathan

Jonathan’s role on the leader’s team is to coordinate Worship, and in particular music-based worship forms, within the church. As such, he has responsibility for the dedicated team of musicians and singers that lead worship in the church programme.

Jude

Jude is passionate about outreach and follow up; he advises the leaders on such matters and brings his cross cultural wisdom to the group

Arielle

Arielle works on communicating news regarding church events through social media, the Web and various design projects. She sometimes preaches, helps in kids' church and plays ukulele on the music team.


MINISTERING STAFF
These leaders have their position due to the ministry role they have in the church

Stephen (Pastor)

Libby (Assistant Pastor)


Leadership is reviewed from time to time and is functional rather than hierarchical, with every leader having particular responsibility for an individual field and the whole group sharing responsibility for the local church.
