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:
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“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)
