As the body of Christ, we are beginning the deacon election process by nominating deacons. Candidates will be voted on at a later date in October. Once elected, these deacons will begin their service in December 2024.
Nominations must be completed by 9 p.m., Sunday, October 6, 2024.
- Only one submission per church member.
- If you need a printed form, these will be available in the church office.
We encourage all church members to participate. Thank you for carefully and prayerfully participating in this vital area of our church life.
Sincerely,
The Deacon Election Committee
What is a Deacon? Who can be nominated?
Deacons are individuals selected by the congregation to prayerfully and consistently undergird and support the mission and ministry of Nashville First through moral, spiritual, and servant leadership. The qualifications of a Deacon are based on Scripture. Deacons are ordained to serve in the total ministry of the church, including pastoral ministries, with designated duties for Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, the church offering, benevolent needs within the church, building security, and greeting visitors.
