Congregational Vote Results
At the Congregational Meeting last Sunday, Nov 2, the proposed Constitutional changes passed with a vote of 97% approval. This means that we will begin the transition to an Elder-led Congregational form of Church government with both Elders and Deacons. The transition won’t be complete until the new Board is officially installed in February.
Deacon & Elder Nomination Forms | Due Nov 30
Nomination forms are available at the Welcome Center for FBC members to nominate new Elders and Deacons to the Board. You will nominate two Elders and two Deacons to start new three-year terms. The Deacons who are already serving on the Board as “acting Elders” will need to be approved by a vote of the Congregation at the Annual Meeting in order for them to complete their current terms as Elders rather than Deacons.
Nominations are due Nov 30.
