LIFESPRING ELDERS


Each fiscal year (July-June), elders are chosen to provide oversight and be spiritual governors of our church. They are called by God to serve and lead the congregation to accomplish its mission. They are first proven as ministry leaders and then assume the additional responsibility of overseeing and shepherding the congregation. They are nominated on the basis of biblical qualifications including spiritual maturity, character, and leadership, and they are affirmed by the church annually to serve one-year terms.
