Update 5\/6\/2013: All of the officer nominees listed below were elected by a majority vote on Sunday, May 5th! They will installed during special worship services on May 19th.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 2012, we nominated more men for the offices of elder and deacon than ever before in our church’s history! This Sunday, we have the opportunity to vote on those who have since completed their training and have discerned a call to their respective offices.<\/p>\n

Each candidate requires a majority “yes” vote this Sunday in order to serve the church in this role. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with some of the men our members will find on their ballots this Sunday.<\/p>\n
