NOMINATE FOR OUR ELDER BOARD

Elder Nominations

At South Fellowship, our Elders serve as spiritual overseers of our church. They pray for our community, help discern God’s direction, and provide leadership and care. Our Elder team typically includes at least six lay Elders and three Pastoral Elders. The following individuals will continue serving in the coming fiscal year: Bill Wizeman, Dave Shugert, Jimmy Jones, Jonathan (JD) Dunn, Mike Galuzzi, Peter Persson, Alex Walton, Andrea Jones, and Dan Elliott.

Those who call South home share in the responsibility of helping discern our Elder team. If South is your church family, we invite you to prayerfully consider who God may be calling to serve in this role. We are seeking 2–3 additional Elders to serve a three-year term. Scripture gives us a clear picture of the character and maturity we are looking for in those who lead:

2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap. (1 Timothy 3:2-7 NIV).*

*South has prayerfully discerned that eldership is a responsibility open to both men and women. You can read our full position paper online by clicking the button below.
