Morningview Baptist Church

During the month of March, you will have the opportunity to nominate men to serve as deacons and lay pastors.  Please get approval from each of the men you plan to nominate.  Also, make your recommendations based on the criteria for elders and deacons set forth in 1 Timothy 3.  Pastors are eligible to serve consecutive terms, but deacons must rotate off one year before serving again. There will be ballots and the boxes to place them in located in each Adult Sunday School room and in other common areas of the church.

Those presently serving and their term periods are listed below.

We will have the opportunity Sunday to vote on four deacon candidates and two pastor candidates.  You have heard their testimonies and are encouraged to prayerfully consider each in light of the biblical qualifications for deacons and pastors. This is an important decision in the life of our church as we seek to place godly men in leadership positions.  This vote will be taken by paper ballot in the morning worship service.  Pictured above are deacon candidates, Jeremy Aldridge, Robert Martin, Tom Hicks, Sr., and Calvin Lee.
