Church Leadership

1 THESSALONIANS 5:
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

It is is important to know those that labor among you and those who are over you. This is a scriptural principle what we abide by..

First, and foremost, the Leadership at Alpha and Omega CWC LOVES THE LORD and strives to lead God's people in love and in accordance with his word.
