Choose from among you those who are full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom… (Acts 6:3) Our church has a talented, intelligent, creative, dedicated group of leaders. I have been deeply gratified and humbled by the opportunity to serve alongside the  elders , committee chairs, and staff who serve our congregation. As we continue to meet the challenges of this era in our history, we continue to need strong leaders to step forward to serve.  The Elder Nominating Committee will begin meeting in early September to choose 5 persons to  nominate  to the congregation for election as Ruling  Elders  at our Annual Congregational Meeting on October 29. The  nominations  include 4  elders  for a three-year term, and 1 youth  elder  for a one-year term.  Our Elder Nominating  Committee for 2023-2024 will be chaired by Elder Hershel Basham (Session, Class of 2023). Members of the committee also include Elder Todd Harvey (Session, Class of 2024; Chair-elect for 2024-2025), James McNiel (Youth Elder), and
