Elders

The Elders oversee church affairs and are the final authority within the church. They also guard the Biblical integrity of all who lead and teach, and are responsible for developing all policies and procedures regarding membership process, church discipline, Position Papers, and the search hiring and termination processes for all pastoral staff members. Finally, they are responsible for guarding the church’s vision.


Contact the Elders

You can contact the Elders if you have personal concerns about the welfare of the church. Information from you will only be seen by elders and will be kept in confidence.

Praying for You

The Bible says, “Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you” (James 5:14). The elders would love to pray for you, wherever you may need. This can happen in your home, nursing home, hospital, or at church. They are also available to bring you communion. To arrange, please email KristinDirector of Care, or give her a call at (847) 825-5507 x125.
