CityLight is led by a plurality of pastor-elders. Instead of a single (or senior) pastor leading our congregation, we have a group of pastor-elders who share the preaching, teaching, counselling, shepherding, and day-to-day leadership of the church. We take this approach for two reasons, one biblical and one pragmatic. Biblically, from what we can tell, every church in the New Testament was led by a plurality of servant-leaders. Pragmatically, a plurality of pastor-elders best ensures the spiritual health of the leaders and members of a local church community.
