Leadership Team

Our Church Structure is comprised a small Senior Leadership Team, supported by a Board of Trustees and Ministry Leaders and a large proportion of volunteers. At tKCC we value people, whether or not they have a title and many people contribute to the success of the King's Community Church experience.
