This edition of the Forum is shaped by a question frequently asked at this time of year:

 

How do other DHF churches select their elders?"

 

The answer is quite diverse! We are calling this edition: "Appointed, Confirmed, Nominated, or Voted on: How Does your Congregation Select your Elders?"



Bob Clark (Pittsfield, IL), Jody Koenigseker (Alliance, OH), Joe Leslie (Mineral, VA), and Russ Reimer (Decatur, IL) will briefly share about their church's selection process. We'll conclude with a time of Q & A for discussing the pros & cons of each approach.

 

If you have participated in an Elder Forum in the past, you will receive the link for this one automatically. If this will be your first forum, you can request the link from DHF Church Liaison Rick Grace by emailing him at rgrace@discipleheritage.org.

ABOUT THE DHF ELDER FORUMS

​

Elders, this is just for you! We want to help you grow spiritually and as a leader so you can better serve your church. We’ve held our first few Elder Forums via Zoom, and we’re thrilled to have served more than 80 church elders nationwide! We’d love for you to join us!

​

We are encouraged some elder teams will meet and join in the Forum together. Consider that for your elder team.​

 

Email Rick Grace for more information and to receive the Zoom link for our next event.
