Elders

Our current board of elders includes Roger Flude, Frank Boyd, and Mike Greer. While the staff handle day-to-day operations of the church, the elders are responsible for managing long-term planning and establishing global policies.

In addition to the practical requirements — supporting the church faithfully with their attendance, attitude, and tithe — 1 Timothy 3:17 and Titus 1:5-9 provide clear guidelines for the characteristics of an elder:
 
The husband of one wife
Not a lover of money
Self-controlled
Respectable
Hospitable
Able to teach
Not given to much wine
Not violent, but gentle
Temperate (not given to extremes)
Manages his family well
Not quarrelsome
Children obey him with respect
Not a recent convert
Good reputation with outsiders
Above reproach
