FAQ
Who leads Redstone Church?
Redstone is a staff-led, elder-guarded and volunteer-driven church. This means the staff makes the day to day decisions; setting the direction and casting vision for the church. The elders guard the vision laid out by the staff and advise the staff on pivotal decisions. Volunteers implement the ministries of Redstone while providing invaluable feedback to the staff and elders as to what is working well and where ministries can be improved.
The volunteer role of offering feedback will be upgraded with the addition of Ministry Team Representatives. A Ministry Team Representative (MTR) represents his or her ministry team as a channel of communication to and from the various ministries of Redstone Church. MTRs will meet two to four times a year for a time of open exchange of ideas and information. Along with the staff and elders, MTRs are continuously involved in improving and optimizing the ministries of Redstone Church.
Is Redstone Church a video church?
As a strategic partner with North Point Ministries, we will use the sermon portion of the North Point worship service a percentage of the time. At other times, the Redstone Church staff may present the sermons.
Our objective in presenting any sermon whether by video or in person, is to present the most relevant, engaging, and helpful message every time we gather. Sermons and sermon series are chosen based on the needs and direction of our church.
Andy Stanley is the primary communicator at Redstone Church, but you will have the opportunity to be challenged by various communicators such as Louie Giglio, Lee Taylor and our Lead Pastor, Blake Benge.
While the sermon portion of the service may be presented by video, all other aspects of the service will be live. At Redstone Church the sermon is really more about the message than the man (or the woman) or mode by which it is presented.
