Our Leadership

Hilton Head Island Community Church exists to passionately share the message of Jesus and lead people to follow Him, and its operating model is designed to support that mission with clear leadership, accountability, and teamwork.

The  Elders provide overall governance, protects the church’s mission, vision, and values, offers spiritual guidance and prayer support, and oversee the Lead Pastor through the Chairperson.

The Leadership Team focuses on broad strategic planning, future initiatives, missional measurement, staff oversight, talent recruitment, and church-wide conflict resolution.

The Stewardship Team helps ensure wise financial management by developing financial policies, reviewing budgets and capital plans, monitoring expenses, and supporting staff with financial procedures.

The Ministry Staff Team carries out the day-to-day ministry work of the church, including pastoral leadership, creative direction, children’s ministry, student ministry, administration, and Sunday coordination. Together, these teams help HHICC remain focused, faithful, and effective in fulfilling its mission.
