We are at the time of nominations of electing Elders and Deacons. We are asking that you choose one for Elder and one for Deacon who are 21 of age and older and in good standing within the church.
The following are currently ineligible for election:
Dan Prien (2028), Mike Vanden Hoek (2026), Beau Van Genderen (2026), Robert Punt (2027), and Aaron DeHaai (2027). Loren (Balls) Dykstra (2028).
We are asking that the ballots be returned to the church by October 4th. The Consistory will then tally the ballots to come up with a double slate for our congregational meeting.
Please take time in prayer as you consider those who will be serving our church in the next year that they will be individuals who are committed to our Lord and to His church.
