Leadership
The Freeway is chaordically organized and led by a cohort of five people (see below). In addition, we have organized leadership into four leadership hubs. There’s no simple definition to say who we are. One of the strengths of The Freeway is the diversity of people involved. We are pastors, artists, web designers, students, teachers, nurses, and more… all of us bring the talents and perspectives from our lives to the making of this unique community. Some of us are single, some are married, some have families. (For resources, videos, and ideas on leadership click here.)
