THE ELDER
TEAM

At Steel City Church, we practice as a plurality of Elders. Direction, care, and oversight of the church are shared among a collective group of spiritual leaders (often referred to interchangeably as pastors, elders, or overseers). These are men called by the Lord and recognized by the church as the overseers of the church.
