Leadership
At Exodus, we believe that God divinely anoints and appoints individuals to serve His Church with purpose and passion. Under the prayerful guidance of our Senior Pastor and pastoral team, we joyfully embrace the Great Commission—equipping the body of Christ for ministry, building up the Church, and reaching the world with the love of Jesus.
Meet the dedicated leaders who help shepherd this vision forward with faith, grace, and servant hearts.
