Elders must 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.

Elders are ordained and serve a three year term as a member of Session.  There are twelve Elders, with one third being elected each year.  The Elders are the decision makers for the church.  Each Elder serves as Moderator or Vice Moderator of a Session committee.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE MEMBER-AT-LARGE

The Nominating Committee has the vitally important responsibility of nominating church officers for service to our Lord and congregation.  The Nominating Committee is also responsible for officer training.  The committee consists of seven members, plus the pastor serving as an ex-officio member.  Three members are appointed by Deacons and Session and four are elected by the congregation as “at large” members.  The “at large” members should have a good knowledge of the congregation and be persons of high character, honesty and integrity.  Each serves a one year term.

Please give serious and prayerful thought to your suggestions of persons whom you regard as qualified.  No signature is required.  If you would prefer to contact a member of the Nominating Committee personally, those currently selected are Ruth Schweitzer, Tom Lorden, and Judy Merker.  Thank you for your help.
