STRUCTURE
New Beginnings Lakeside Church is affiliated with Calvary Chapel and utilizes the same leadership structure as found within that movement. The church is pastor-led with an emphasis on servant-leadership. An elder leadership board regularly meets to discuss church matters, pray for the body, and advise the staff. All pastors and elders are required to meet the qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 in order to serve in any capacity.
