LEADERSHIP

Doing the hard thing makes you a leader.

-Rick Warren


Our leaders.

Real Life Church is elder led. There is no paid pastor, board of trustees, or monthly business meeting. Church members bring ministry and service ideas before the elders, and the elders decide next steps to take. To learn more, click here.
