Deacon Nominations
The nominating committee is inviting you to submit suggestions for potential nominees. Would you prayerfully consider the men of our church who are qualified to serve in this capacity?
I would encourage you to review the nomination process for deacons which is found in the church Constitution, which is referenced below:
1. The nominating committee will consist of at least one pastor, two deacons whose terms are not about to expire, and two at–large members of the congregation.
2. The nominating committee will solicit recommendations from the church membership for potential nominees, identify specific nominees and investigate their qualifications and willingness to serve, and present to the church leadership a list of the nominees at least two weeks prior to the church vote. The nominating committee will recommend at least one nominee for each position that is needed.
Please understand that this means not every name that is submitted will be put on the ballot as a deacon nominee.
The Constitution states, “Deacons are to serve the church by assisting the pastors …” They must be men who possess the character qualities as described in I Timothy 3:8-13 and who are known as Christ-followers.
