The Scriptures present the qualifications for elders, and the Constitution of the Grace Bible Church stipulates the process for adding and rotating elders on our Board of Elders. As you know, Grace Bible Church has six lay elders currently serving, in addition to our pastor.
An excerpt from the Church Constitution has been posted at the top of the steps (by the entrance to the auditorium) and on the Bulletin Board outside pastor's office, that summarizes The Qualifications of an Elder, The Size and Term of the Board of Elders, and the Election of Elders. In keeping with the Constitution, nominations for elder are open for the next three weeks. Please review this information.
A membership class is being formed, which will begin soon. If you would like to find out much more about what we believe and how our church functions, please contact Wayne Sourbeck or Pastor Bill as soon as possible.
Operation Christmas Child, 2009
Camilla reports that our Operation Christmas Child gifts this year were received by children in Panama, Gabon, Zambia, and Madagascar. Please continue to pray for the impact of the Gospel on these young lives.
Opportunities for Ministry
Are you a teacher, looking for an opportunity to work with children? Or, would you rather someone else take the lead, while you work as an assistant? Do you play an instrument? Can you sing? If any of these opportunities appeals to you, we may have a place of service for you here at G.B.C. Please let us know by talking with Pastor Bill, one of our Elders, or call the church office.
