Our philosophy
The role of pastors and leaders isn‘t to be the central figure of the church. Nor are the leaders or staff of a church the only ones who should be able to use their gift. Pastors are meant to be servants that shepherd the body of Christ with love, coaches that unlock the unique gifting and calling in everyone, and equippers who help all of us to reach spiritual maturity in Jesus to see the Kingdom of God brought into our contexts and circles.
Cultivate Church Network is led by a growing team of local pastors and leaders. Our team of pastors and leaders are submitted to an outside board of overseers for spiritual guidance and accountability.
