Suggestion Form for Church Elders - Class of 2025
It is that time again! The Nominating Committee is looking for your help by suggesting people we should consider in making up the class of Elders to serve on the Church Session. We are committed to having a representative Session with men and women, people of generally different ages, and representative of a diverse and inclusive congregation.
This fall we will elect five new Elders to serve three year terms on Session. We hope you will suggest church members whose Christian faith and leadership will strengthen the church and its mission. The committees that are seeking Elders are Personnel, Property, Finance, Fellowship, and Youth. In making your recommendations, please be guided by these principles from the Book of Order, part of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A):
“Elders should be persons of faith, dedication, and good judgment. Their manner of life should be a demonstration of the Christian gospel, both within the church and in the world. It is the duty of elders, individually and jointly, to strengthen and nurture the faith and life of the congregation
committed to their charge. Together with the pastor, they should encourage the people in the worship and service of God, equip and renew them for their tasks within the church and for their mission in the world, visit and comfort and care for the people, with special attention to the poor,
the sick, the lonely, and those who are oppressed. They should inform the pastor and session of those persons and structures which may need special attention. They should assist in worship. They should cultivate their ability to teach the Bible and may be authorized to supply places which are
without the regular ministry of the Word and Sacrament. Those duties which all Christians are bound to perform by the law of love are especially incumbent upon elders because of their calling to office and are to be fulfilled by them as official responsibilities.” (from G-6.0303 and G-6.0304)
This form is for your suggestions. Please enter your suggestions and click submit.
If you are asked to be a nominee, please give prayerful consideration to this request. As Presbyterians, we believe that it is God who calls us to ordination as Elders, and that service in leadership to the body of Christ is an offering in praise of God.
Your 2022 Nominating Committee: Kathy Hedrick, Moderator, Art Blackwood, Rebecca Holt, Beth Maclin and Tony Warren with a representative of the Youth to be named later, Pastor Hoyle, Ex-Officio
