Ministry Staff
At Holmes we believe in team ministry. Our church's diverse membership is best served with the variety of gifts that our staff offers. Each minister works in tandem with the other and actively shares in every part of the congregation's ministry. Our staff pools their gifts and resources together in order to equip the whole congregation for the work of the ministry, which is to make disciples (Eph. 4:12, Matthew 28:19).
