CONGREGATIONAL MEETING

We will have a congregational meeting Sunday, June 26, immediately after the 9:30 am Worship Service. The purpose of this meeting is to elect the men described below for the Office of Elder and Deacon.

These men were nominated by the Congregation, approved by the Elders, completed an in-depth training taught by Seth Hammond on the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Book of Church Order, passed an examination, presented their profession of faith in Jesus, and met with Elders and Deacons. If you are a member in good standing, you will be able to vote.
