Ministries

Our leadership team is dedicated to supporting our Pastor in ensuring the education of our members and glorifying Christ.

Ministry Advancement:

In his role as church administrator RJ Suttles is in charge of ministry advancement. It is the duty of the church administrator to make sure that the vision of our pastor is expressed in the best possible light. In order to do that RJ makes an effort to work hand in hand with all of the ministries within the church. By doing that each person working in the ministry is provided the tools needed so they can complete the task set in front of them. We do all things as unto the Lord at Body of Christ Outreach Ministries, because of that mind set it is the duty of the church administrator to ensure that all of our leadership team and church members present themselves with a certain level of integrity, everybody knows their responsibilities, and everybody is on the same page so that we can move as one body. RJ has made it known that although he holds the title of church administrator, ministry advancement is the responsibility of all of our members so that the kingdom agenda can be accomplished.
