Leadership

Tree 197 Ministries is a non-profit LLC in good standing with the state of Missouri. This team, led by our Executive Pastors, receives regular communication about the direction of each ministry and finances of the church. The purpose of this team is to provide oversight and strategic leadership to accomplish the mission God has called us to. All have a seat at the table.

A LEADER is one that knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way!

"But select capable men [women] from all the people-men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain-and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens." Exodus 18:21 NIV

This is our Mission statement and His commission.

Jesus, the Model Servant Leader
Jesus submitted his own life to sacrificial service under the will of God (Luke 22:42), and he sacrificed his life freely out of service for others (John 10:30). He came to serve (Matthew 20:28) although he was God’s son and was thus more powerful than any other leader in the world. He healed the sick (Mark 7:31-37), drove out demons (Mark 5:1-20), was recognized as Teacher and Lord (John 13:13), and had power over the wind and the sea and even over death (Mark 4:35-41; Matthew 9:18-26).

In John 13:1-17 Jesus gives a very practical example of what it means to serve others (see also “The King Who Led With a Towel”). He washes the feet of his followers, which was properly the responsibility of the house-servant.
