July Elder Update

Marcel Bulliard

Below is a summary of what was shared with the congregation on July 21st. Each month our elders communicate notable updates for each of the following categories in the life of our church. 

Leadership Update

Casey Potier has been recommended as an Elder. 

New Elders are selected and nominated by the existing elder board. They identify men in the church who are already “Eldering.” Casey has been identified in that respect. Now he is starting a three-week testing period. This serves as an opportunity for the church to respond to any concerns with Casey as an Elder in our church. We want to continue to confirm with our church body that Casey meets the biblical qualifications for eldership.  

Finances

Our fiscal year has started in July. The budget presented by the staff was approved by the elders. 

Each year, the staff proposes the budget, and the elders review it for approval. It’s then presented to the church at our annual congregational meeting. This meeting is set for August 18th on Sunday Night. 

This year we have budgeted for more than we received in giving last fiscal year. We are budgeting in faith. 

VBS

We are grateful and celebrating another successful VBS this summer. We had nearly a 1to1 ratio of students and volunteers as many in our church were able to participate. 

We’re thankful for all of those who worked to make that week happen. It was special. 

Worship Team 

Jordy and Lindsay Davidson have been our worship leaders with Danny Seymour as our Music director for over 3 months now. We are so appreciative of what they are doing and the direction they are leading us in worship. The worship team continues to grow along with our response to God in worship each Sunday.
