Accountability Structure

Elder board of 9 includes 3 female elders (Charesa Johnson, Debbi Steen, Dr. Sharon Tice) — egalitarian. No confessional affiliation, no Acts 29/9Marks/TGC/Founders. Independent multi-site without biblical-pattern male elder plurality. Keep RED.
WARNING!
Assessment
Kensington Church Troy MI — large non-denominational church founded 1990. The three founding pastors (Steve Andrews, Dave Wilson, Mark Nelson) stepped down after 30+ years and the church was actively searching for a new senior pastor via Vanderbloemen (church staffing firm). Five weekly services. Located at 1825 E Square Lake Rd confirmed. In leadership transition — doctrinal direction under new leadership is uncertain. Dave Wilson of FamilyLife Today is one of the founders.
