Leadership at Seven Mile Road

Jesus is Our Chief Shepherd

Jesus is the Chief Shepherd of Seven Mile Road Church Gulu. By His Spirit and through His Word, He lovingly cares for and commands us. He is our greatest treasure, highest authority, and deepest joy (1 Peter 5:4; Hebrews 13:20; John 10).

Under His authority, we are led by a plurality of elders, served by deacons, and governed with the congregation's responsibility. Together we pursue holiness and unity as a family on mission.
