Sovereign Grace Ministries is led by a team of men who provide pastoral leadership, training, and support for Sovereign Grace churches and pastors. Each of these men is based in a Sovereign Grace church.
Relationships among churches and leaders within this ministry tend to be decentralized, growing out of friendship based on theological agreement and shared vision. Accordingly, the men on our leadership team come alongside pastors and churches to provide counsel and pastoral support.
