Our Leadership Structure
Believers who invest their hearts, time, families, and finances in the building of a local church deserve to have confidence in church leadership. People are looking for leaders who conduct themselves with integrity and respect when making decisions that affect their lives.
Church Government
1. We are guided by Pastors.
The Senior Pastors lead our Pastoral Staff Team and oversee the day-to-day ministry and operations of Brighthouse Church. Along with the other pastors, they are dedicated to serving the congregation and nurturing the church's spiritual life.
The Brighthouse Church Senior Pastor Leadership Team includes:
• Derek Dale
• Nikki Dale
2. We are protected by Trustees.
The Trustees are members of the congregation who oversee the church's finances and manage the provision of its facilities. They offer counsel to the Senior Pastor Leadership Team on major financial decisions and serve as Non-staff Elders.
The Trustees for Brighthouse Church will be appointed in the near future.
3. We are strengthened by Overseers.
The Overseers are three pastors of respected congregations and ministries who love Brighthouse Church and are willing to provide spiritual protection to the church. They may be called in to help in accountability matters relating to the Senior Pastor if requested by the Pastors or Trustees. The Overseers serve as Apostolic Elders.
The Overseers for Brighthouse Church are:
• Pastor Jerry Lawson
Daystar Church – Cullman, AL
• Pastor Ben Murray
City Hope Church – Wichita Falls, TX
• Pastor Jason Parks
Refuge Church – Harvest, AL
