Exciting News: Recognizing and Affirming Eldership in Our Church

This past Sunday, we shared some exciting updates about the leadership within our church community. We’re thrilled to announce that Kevin Reese, Shane Goodner, and Derek Sovereign have been recognized as elder candidates. Their faithful walk, dedication, and commitment to serving as spiritual leaders have led us to this important moment. Additionally, we are excited to designate Derek Sovereign as the lead elder.

If you missed the announcement during Sunday’s service, you can catch it on our YouTube Channel. The announcement begins around the 46-minute mark. For further context, you may also want to revisit a sermon from May 2024 that delves into the biblical perspective on eldership. The sermon starts at the 39-minute mark and can be found HERE >>

Your Role in the Process

As a valued member of our church family, we invite you to participate in this process by providing feedback. Whether through words of affirmation or concerns, your input is essential as we seek unity and discernment. To guide your reflections, we encourage you to review the qualifications for elders found in **1 Timothy 3:1-7** and **Titus 1:6-9**.

You can share your thoughts using this Feedback form. If you prefer, paper forms will be available at church for the next two Sundays. Simply drop your completed form into one of the giving boxes.

What’s Next?

All feedback will be reviewed by Bo Noonan and the advisory team. Lord willing, we plan to officially appoint these elders on January 26. Please join us in prayer as we move forward, trusting God’s guidance in this significant step for our church.

Thank you for being an active part of this process and for your continued prayers and support. Together, let’s seek God’s will for the leadership of our church community.
