Elders

Our elders are responsible for shepherding and overseeing the congregation at Highway 65 (Acts 20:28; I Timothy 3:1-7; I Peter 5:1-4). We currently have Four men who serve as our pastors: Alan Finley, Bruce Reeves, Kevin Sams and Derrill White. It is their desire to offer spiritual leadership that will benefit each and every member of the congregation. They do not have authority over any other congregation, but Highway 65. They strive to be approachable and receptive as spiritual leaders.

Deacons

The New Testament teaches that in addition to elders, congregations of the Lord’s church appointed servants referred to as “deacons” (Philippians 1:1).  Like elders, these men are to be appointed based upon qualifications that are spelled out in Scripture (1 Timothy 3:8-13). Under the oversight of the elders, these men carry out various works of service to the congregation. We currently have eight men who serve as deacons. The men  appointed to this work have met the qualifications of Scripture and serve the congregation faithfully in this work.
