420 Church Clearwater is a non-denominational body of believers and was planted in December of 2022. Our senior leader Matt Pfaltzgraf leads in developing and establishing the vision, direction, and culture of 420 church and our elders help lead and govern our body of believers in support. A true biblical eldership is a qualified council of men that jointly shepherd the local church together under the leadership of our senior leader. The elders act jointly as a council of wisdom & support and share equal responsibility but not equal authority to our senior leader. While understanding that not all are equal in their giftedness, biblical knowledge, leadership ability, experience, etc. Therefore, those among the elders who are particularly gifted to teach and preach will naturally stand out among the other elders. However, this does not mean that the other elders who are more skilled in other areas such as counseling, leading small groups, etc., have any less responsibility. ​Additionally, we feel it's important that those with ministry callings and gifting within the church body would not compete with the Lord for the affections of the Church. The leaders and ministries within 420 Church Clearwater exist to point others toward Christ, to care for the body of Christ and not to magnify themselves or their gifts.
