Elder and deacon nominations
LVC is in a season of discernment and strategic visioning. Since last spring, all members have been called to join this journey in different ways.
The Nominating Committee is actively discerning the best ways to fulfill its mission, discerning Christ’s will, to call those who will serve in the ordered ministries of Elder and Deacon, on Pastor Nominating Committees, and on the Nominating Committee itself.
The Nominating Committee invites you to join its faithful work by recommending members, whom you believe should be considered, to serve on the soon-to-be elected slate of new Elders and Nominating Committee members. Those are the two roles being actively discerned.
These recommended active members of LVC should be spiritually mature leaders that express the rich diversity of the congregation's membership. Who among you evidences holy gifting, heart for ministry, spiritual wisdom, and a commitment to the growth and wholeness of this community?
Helpful Guidance: 2.0103, G-2.0301, G-2.0401

Please complete the recommendation below by November 18th. Self-recommendations are acceptable. All recommendations will be prayerfully considered in the Nominating Committee’s discernment process.

- The call to ordered ministry in the Church is the act of the triune God. This call is evidenced by the movement of the Holy Spirit in the individual conscience, approval of a community of God’s people, and concurring judgment of a Church council. Nominating Committee is elected by the congregation and representative of the rich diversity of its membership. Members serve a 1-3-year term.
- Ruling Elders have responsibilities in leadership, governance, and worship. They serve on Session with the pastoral staff to discern God’s calling for the life of the congregation and measure its faithfulness to that call. They are ordained and installed to serve a 3-year term.
