Senior Leadership Team

The role of the Senior Leadership Team is to lead the church. The team is made up of pastors, staff and members of the church (currently there are 9 on the team). Each person is responsible for one or two areas of church life and is accountable to the rest of the team to raise up leaders and teams and empower them to do Kingdom work. The vision of this leadership style is that everyone gets to identify and step into their gifts and the church comes alive!

Bios of our Senior Leadership Team are below. To see bios from team members, Matt Hemsley, Lynsey Berry and Brenda Allison, check out the staff page.

Tamara Burdon

Evangelism

Tamara says, “I have been a partner at City Church for the last four years and I am humbled to lead the evangelism ministry. Sharing the gospel, is always the Holy Spirit leading us in compassion to those who are lost…the call of the Great Commission, which of course, is the very heart of our Lord, Jesus Christ!”

Bob Glusenkamp

Outreach and Care Team

Bob says: My wife Linda and I have been Partners at CityChurch for 5 years. I recently joined Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region as the Vice President for Construction Operations. Linda is a long time volunteer with the American Red Cross. I have served on the Welcome Team, Evangelism Team and Church Council before joining the Senior Leadership Team. We live in the neighborhood, very near Church, and feel that God has great plans for our Church, Neighborhood, and the city of Charlotte. We love serving the Partners of CityChurch thru the Care Team Ministry and all of our Charlotte Neighbors thru the Church’s Outreach Ministries.

Events

Hello! I’m Michelle Kline, and I have been a part of CityChurch since the summer of 2017. I love the authenticity of CityChurch and the community it brings as we grow in our faith together. Because of this, I am passionate about and lead the Fellowship Team where we strive to create opportunities to bring together all members of CityChurch. Outside of CityChurch, I am currently a principal intern and pursing a future career as a school principal after teaching eighth grade English language arts for eleven years. I also coached middle school softball and volleyball, love watch sports, grill out, play golf, travel, and spend time with friends and family.

Yohan believes in living life to its fullest according to biblical principles, starting with finances. Yohan has a big passion for financial stewardship and making the most of God given resources to further His mission.

Yohan grew up in a Christian home but only came to faith after seeing his beautiful daughter born.

Lynn Craig

Prayer Ministry

Prayer Ministry Team Leader

Lynn says, “I came to Charlotte to attend college and never left. I grew up among the mountains and will always have an affinity for them. I love the majesty of the mountains and how everything slows down when we’re in the mountains.. I grew up in the church but didn’t develop a relationship with Jesus until I was much older. Now that I have this relationship, I have a passion to see people walk in their true identity as daughters and sons of God and to be in relationship with their loving heavenly Father. I am the founder of an inner healing prayer ministry where I have watched Jesus bring freedom and healing to His people for several years. I have two daughters, a son-in-law and a new grand-daughter which are the joy of my life. I’m excited for where God is leading City Church and am blessed to be part of His plan. I love prayer and prophetic ministry.”
