LEFC STAFF
LEFC's staff is made up of pastors, ministers, directors, supervisors, coordinators, and support staff. Together, we form a team that works hard to live out the core of what LEFC believes - We love God, love people, live truth, and proclaim Jesus. Our goal is to share the truth and love of Jesus, to care for the body of LEFC and our community, and to equip believers to become disciples of Jesus Christ.
