Class of 2025 Deacon/Elder Nomination

May 12, 2022
It’s the time in our church year to nominate our future SACPC leaders, our deacons and elders.

We ask that each of you take this time to prayerfully consider who would be a good deacon or elder. In doing so, God will be using you in this important activity in the life of our church.

Please know you can nominate yourself and we ask you to also prayerfully consider if this is the time and the role for you to serve our congregation.

The selected deacons and elders will make up the Class of 2025 and will be ordained in January 2023.

As a reference, the Book of Order outlines the characteristics of deacons and elders:

‘Elders should be persons of wisdom and maturity of faith, having demonstrated skills in leadership and being compassionate in spirit.’

‘Deacons should be persons of spiritual character, honest repute, exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, sincere compassion, and sound judgment should be chosen for this office.’

Nomination cards are available in the pews and can be returned in the offering baskets during Sunday morning worship. You can also submit your nomination online.
