Help us choose our servant leaders in this year’s Deacon Election. This summer we voted to change our election process, so we invite you to prayerfully consider who you would nominate to serve as a deacon. You can find the list of eligible members in the Hub as well as more information about the nomination process.
1: See Who is Eligible
In the Hub you will find a list posted of those GBC members who are eligible to serve as a deacon. These are women and men who are at least 21 years old, active in the life of our church, have been a member for at least a year, and are not currently serving as a deacon.
2: Prayerfully Consider
From this list, prayerfully consider who you would nominate to serve our church. Who is “worthy of respect” (1 Timothy 3:8) and “known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom” (Acts 6:3)? Who do you see serving already? Who might be quietly serving among us?
3: Have a Conversation
After you have identified individual(s) whose gifts of service and leadership you recognize, have a conversation withhim/her. Share why you would like to nominate her/him to serve. Ask if they would be willing to serve our congregation in this way.
4: Officially Nominate
If after consideration and prayer she/he agree to be nominated, please fill out a Deacon Nomination Form. Include your name (nominator), his/her name (nominee), and check that you have received their “yes” to serve if elected. Nominations will be accepted until Sunday, October 27.
