Elder Nominations

The Role of an Elder

The Elder Board serves in the oversight of Bayview Glen Church to ensure that the long-term health of our church is secure.

Areas of oversight include finances, doctrinal positions, priorities, and overall direction. The Elder Board is a mix of cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, occupations, and personal life experiences in order to better understand the needs of the church.

Elders serve a three-year term, renewable only once until they are required to step down for at least one year until re-nomination.

Who can be nominated as an Elder?

 

  • The biblical requirements of an Elder are found in Titus 1, 1 Timothy 3, and 1 Peter 5

  • The nominee should already be involved in serving in some capacity at Bayview Glen Church

  • Nominees must be Ministry Partners

What Is The Selection Process?

  • Nomination
