WHY WE EXIST
Leadership Structure, Governance and Accountability:
We believe in order, transparency, and accountability at Undefeated Church. One of the ways that we ensure we don’t compromise on any of those values is by our structure and governance.
Undefeated is staff-led, with outside pastoral overseers, and elder-protected church that encourages a team-led approach in all it’s ministries. The eldership oversees, guides, and protects. The pastoral overseers are in place to coach, invest, strengthen and care for the church leadership. Their goal is to empower the staff and team to execute and lead the ministries of the church.
The elders are the governing authority at Undefeated Church. The Lead Pastor is a member of the elder team.
*We are protected by Local Elders:
The local elders are members/leaders of the congregation who provide counsel to the Lead Pastoral team regarding the major financial commitments of the church. The elders serve as Non-staff members.
*We are strengthened by Overseers:
The Overseers are pastors of nationally respected congregations and ministries who love Undefeated Church and are willing to provide spiritual protection to the church. They are considered apostolic elders. They may be called in to help in accountability matters relating to the Lead Pastor if requested by the Staff or Local Elders.

ABOUT US
Hope + Identity + Purpose Found In JESUS.
Colossians 3:1-4
+ Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority!
+ Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.
+ Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. 4 And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory!
Branding and Logo meaning
What happened on the cross was that important to all of humanity, and it brought in a whole new way of living. Called the new covenant, there’s no longer anything between me/us and God. Jesus took care of it all 🙌🏾
Green in our branding and logo means new life in Christ…..
Green spiritually is the color of growth, balance, renewal, immortality, resurrection, growth, prosperity, and restoration.
