Meet the Team
Southview is blessed with pastors and leaders, men and women who serve The Lord and His People.
As a congregation of The Church of The Nazarene, Southview has three pastoral designations: ordained pastors, pastors with district licenses on the East TN District, and pastors with local licenses.
Ordained pastors, carrying the title Reverend, have completed the required education and service for ministry, and have been approved, blessed, and commissioned by The Church of The Nazarene.
District Licensed Ministers are in the process of completing requirements for ordination. Approved by the
East TN District, they serve alongside ordained pastors as they prepare for full ordination.
Local Licensed Ministers are individuals who have answered God’s Call to ministry, approved by the lead pastor and Southview Church Board. This marks the beginning of their ministry journey toward a district license and eventual ordination.
Minister directors, though not called to lifelong pastoral service, play an equally important role. Their leadership is vital to the ministry team God has assembled at Southview.
Finally, Southview’s philosophy follows Jesus’ model of servant leadership. Every pastor and director, regardless of title or ministry, is called to serve The Lord and His Church where and when needed.
