Leadership
Vintage Church utilizes a voluntary leadership model, with only one paid, full-time staff member (the lead pastor) as of May 2008. All ministries of the church are currently led by 'lay leaders'. The church has a multi-tiered leadership structure as follows: 1) 'Steering Team' (commonly known in most Protestant churches as the 'Elders'), which is currently made up of 6 individuals and has the highest authority in regards to decision making for the organization. 2) 'Operations Team', which oversees finances in regards to decisions voted upon by the Steering Team. 3) 'Leadership Team', which is currently made up of over 25 volunteers who lead the varying ministries of the church. The Leadership Team votes on all major decisions brought to it by the Steering Team, and provides and avenue for feedback and input into the future direction of the church.

Famous quotes containing the word leadership:
“During the first World War women in the United States had a chance to try their capacities in wider fields of executive leadership in industry. Must we always wait for war to give us opportunity? And must the pendulum always swing back in the busy world of work and workers during times of peace?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“A woman who occupies the same realm of thought with man, who can explore with him the depths of science, comprehend the steps of progress through the long past and prophesy those of the momentous future, must ever be surprised and aggravated with his assumptions of leadership and superiority, a superiority she never concedes, an authority she utterly repudiates.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
