CCC Leadership Team

Cascade Covenant Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will at our church.

The Leadership Team (LT) serves to give overall leadership and direction for our church. This team is typically made up of 8-10 people who meet regularly and are elected by our congregation, serving up to 4 years before rolling off the team. The CCC Lead Pastor also serves on this team.

The role of the Leadership Team is to promote our mission and vision, protect the unity of our church, and provide support to staff.

This team is not engaged in daily operations of the staff and leaders, rather they look after the bigger picture and strive to support the staff and volunteer leaders. Each year the LT will develop a recommended annual budget and present this to the congregation for approval. The LT also oversees the financial life of the church.

John Lindberg

Church Chair

Our family started attending CCC in 1999.  Lynne and I have been married for 36 years and have 4 children.  Our youngest is 22 and our oldest daughter, Bekah, and our oldest son, Carl are both studying to be pastors.  I work as a professor at Seattle Pacific University and spend my free time hiking the trails around the Snoqualmie Valley. 

During my time at CCC I have served attended small groups, men’s retreat, Bible studies and community groups.  I have served on the Tech team, have taught adult Sunday school and have served on the leadership team.  I look forward to serving again with the leadership team.
