BOARD OF ELDERS
Walnut Hill is a nondenominational, evangelical church. We have a Board of Elders, elected by our members, who are responsible for providing spiritual leadership and oversight. In any given week, our Elders can be found praying with individuals, serving alongside the congregation or supporting our pastoral team as they lead and direct daily ministry. You can contact our Elders at leadership@walnuthillcc.org.

ONE CHURCH, FIVE LOCATIONS
We are one church family with four locations in Connecticut as well as online. Each campus has a campus pastor who shepherds the people at the campus.

OUR TEAM
We also have a team of pastors who are directly responsible for specific areas of ministry, from kids, youth and adults, to care, worship & the arts, prayer and evangelism. Additionally, directors provide support and guidance to the staff to keep the mission forefront and the infrastructure healthy and running smoothly.
