All teaching is done under authority and guidance of the elders. There are six elders: Rory Heather-Clark, Ian Lorimer, Stuart Kemsley, James Senior, Gavin Johnson and John Hastings.  Trustees are are members of Southpoint appointed by the Elders to take fiduciary and legal responsibility for the Church. The trustees are Rory Heather-Clark, Stuart Kemsley, Norval Weichardt and Gavin Johnson.

2. Finance and Personnel Board: This team operates under the authority of the elders and evaluates the financial health of Southpoint Church. They present a yearly budget to the elders and trustees and meet quarterly to review expenses and budgetary issues. They also establish guidelines for staff policies, salaries and benefits. This team is: Stuart Kemsley (Chair), Peter Doyle, Shadrach Scullard, Rob Walker and Brandon Tregellas.
