Elder Candidates
Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at 2:30PM On October 28, a members meeting will be held to appoint Richview's first elders. "The Elders are collectively responsible to oversee the doctrine, direction, and discipline of the Church."
The qualifications for elders are as follows: "Qualifications for Elders are those outlined in Titus 1:6-9. Only those who have been Members of the Church for the two preceding years may serve as Elders, with the exception of the Senior Pastor and those who have previously served as Deacons. Only males may serve as Elders." The Senior Pastor is automatically a member of this Board of Elders.
Members have been given an opportunity to nominate individuals to serve as Elders. The following individuals have accepted their nominations, and have been interviewed and recommended by the Deacons. The Board of Deacons hereby recommend to the church that these individuals be affirmed as Elders:
Bryan Campbell
Grant Caven
Dave Cook
Jon McMurray
A two-thirds (2/3) vote of Members present at a duly constituted Meeting of Members is required to affirm each individual as an Elder.
