About LLB
- We usually refer to the Lay Leadership Board as the LLB.
- The LLB is a group of 12 congregation members who serve 3-year terms, voted into office during an annual congregational vote.
- There are no term limits, so board members can serve as many terms as they like, as long as they are voted into office
- The board meets monthly, along with the senior pastor and the executive business director.
- They work with the Senior Pastor and input from the congregation to develop the Mission, Vision and Core Values of Messiah.
- They help set policies for Messiah, and assist in developing a strategic plan for our church.
- They monitor the strategies, goals, and results of the Senior Pastor and the Staff.

Elder Team
Chris Hamilton
Head Elder
Welcome!
All of us who are connected to Messiah are considered one big family, and we are called to care for one another. Messiah’s Board of Elders exists to help make sure each member of our family gets the care they need. We pair each household with two elders as points of contact and connection. You’ll find your elders below. Use the first letter of your last name to find which two Elders are yours.
Your elder can help you with:
- Prayer requests/Someone to pray with you and for you
- Care needs/Setting up visitation
- Connecting you with Bible studies, events, and ways to serve
- Connecting you with pastors or other staff to meet your needs
- Welcoming your guests or anyone you know who might be visiting Messiah
