Elder candidates must be nominated by church members. Thus, from January 25, 2026 to February 25, 2026, any church member may submit the names of those whom they believe possess the giftedness and character to serve as an officer in Christ's church. A candidate must recieve at least three (3) nominations from different households to be considered as a candidate. Following the close of the nomination period, the Session will review all potential nominees identified through the congregational recommendation process and will select a slate of potential nominees to proceed with a season of extensive training prior to an future examination, election, and then ordination.

Does his life demonstrate growth in the character and competency attributes of an elder identified in 1 Timothy 3:1-7? *

Yes

Not Sure

Tip: 1 Timothy 3:1–7 (ESV) 1 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
