Leadership

At Ankeny Gospel, we value and prioritize shared leadership. We believe that the pastors and deacons are the two offices of the church that most reflect Jesus when they humbly serve one another as they serve the church. Our goal is that the leaders of AGC first allow God to work in them, before working through them. On this page you’ll find some of the stories of who we are, what we do, and our heart for the church.
