Elder Recommendation Form

The recommendation of men to the position of Elders in leadership of Grace Church is both a privilege and a great responsibility for those who are members of the body of Grace Church.

Careful consideration should be made both to the Bible qualifications for Eldership and the character of the individual being nominated. A recommendation should be submitted only after prayerful consideration is given to the Biblical qualifications, personal character, giftedness and active involvement in the ministry of Grace Church.

All names received from the Grace body through this submission process will be brought before the Elders for their consideration and examination. The Elder Board will be the final authority of names presented to the body, and no discussion or explanation of the action on individual names will be presented to the body. This will be held in strict confidence. Go here to see the role of an elder.
