Annual Meeting - February 13

The Scriptures present the qualifications for elders, and the Constitution of Grace Bible Church stipulates the process for adding and rotating elders on our Board of Elders. As you know, Grace Bible Church currently has four lay elders serving, in addition to our pastor. Three of these elders - Craig McGlassion, Bob McKee, and Rob Roelofs - are required to rotate off at this time.

A minimum of two elders need to be added at this year's Annual Meeting. Experienced elders, Wayne Sourbeck and Everett Sollars, have both agreed to return for another term.

In keeping with the Church Constitution, an excerpt of the document has been posted at the top of the steps (by the entrance to the auditorium) and on the Bulletin Board outside the pastor's office. This document summarizes The Qualifications of an Elder, The Size and Term of the Board of Elders, and the Election of Elders. Nominations for elder are open for the next three weeks. Please review this information.

God didn't promise
days without pain, laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain; but He did promise strength
for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.


If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.
