Accepting Deacon Nominations Now

Deacon nominations are being accepted now.  Our church is blessed to have godly men who are committed to Calvary and who have a servant heart.  The word “deacon” is a derivative of the Greek word for “servant.”  That is the role of a deacon at Calvary.  Deacons are servants who work alongside the pastors to minister to the needs of the congregation.  Each year the congregation elects men to the active deacon body for a three-year term.  Currently there are 21 men serving in this capacity with 7 of them rotating off December 31, 2012 (you can see their names below).  Nominations are being accepted now by the Deacon Screening and Nominating Committee.  The biblical qualifications for deacons are listed in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.  According to the Calvary Constitution, all men age 25 or older who have been members of Calvary for a minimum of 1 year are eligible for membership.  (Deacons who are rotating off may not be elected until a year after).  Deacons are expected to be active in Calvary life, support its mission and vision, attend deacon monthly meetings and be in agreement with Calvary’s doctrinal beliefs.  Prayerfully consider the names(s) of men who you would like to nominate.  Forms for this will be made available.  The deadline for nominations is October 28.

For your information, the active deacon list is below.  You do not need to nominate people on this list.
