Elder Q&A 2024 Recap
On November 10, we hosted our sixth annual Elders Q&A. Thank you for your thoughtful questions. Our church is marked by Christ’s love, gratitude to our God, and a relationship of trust between our congregaton and our elders. You are a joy to lead even on the hard days. That’s owing in part to your faithful submission to your elders as we lead you in the Word (Heb. 13:17).
Got Any Questions?
Questions are normal. In our own family, Kristi and I probably ask one another a dozen questons a day. Our kids ask us more, especially the youngest. When we circle up at night, we’ll read the Bible, pray, talk about the day to come, and typically I’ll take questions to make sure we’re all on the same page.
Elder Q&A 2023 Recap
On November 12, we hosted our fifth annual Elders Q&A. We host these evenings because we love one another. Asking and answering questions is natural to any relationship of love and trust. We have plenty of both and we mean to keep it. Thank you for your thoughtful questions and your interest in our church’s good.
Any Questions? Join Us at Our Annual Elder Q&A

Elder Q&A 2022 Recap
On November 13, we hosted our fourth annual Elders Q&A. Why do we host an event like this? It’s not because we have problems (we have those!). It’s because we are working out God’s plan for our maturity and our mission through biblical eldership. Elders are one reason Paul left Titus in Crete: This is […]
And Now for Your Questions
There are many voices out there competing for our attention. Some are babbling, some are asking questions, and some are offering answers. Social media and mass communication lends itself to church leaders not knowing who is asking what questions and lay members not knowing who to trust for answers.
Elder Q&A 2021 Recap
On November 14, we hosted our third annual Elders Q&A. Why do we host an event like this? There are lots of answers to that question. One reason is that you are precious to God and to us as your elders. Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy […]

Elder Q&A 2020 Recap
On November 22, we hosted our second annual Elders Q&A. Our hope through an evening like this is to fulfill Peter’s words for all of us when he wrote to elders, “shepherd the flock of God that is among you” (1Pet. 1:2). In that short command, Peter teaches us a few things about A church […]
