Praise Fellowship is a church with a community of leaders, not a church based on the leadership of only one person. The vision and values of this church are lived out by the pastoral team who are focused on teaching others to serve through their example. We believe strongly that those in leadership positions are there to serve others rather than to be served. As people become part of this church they have the opportunity to serve and lead as God has gifted them.
The leadership team includes:
Pastoral Staff
Dr. Stephen Zemanek – Lead Pastor
Rev. Vicki Staley, RID CI/CT – Pastor of Praise Deaf Fellowship
Minister Stephen Sayer – Minister to the Youth
Elders
