Adding Elders

A key part of Suncrest’s leadership is a group of leaders called “elders” who are responsible to guard and guide the church.  
  • Scripturally, these leaders have ultimate responsibility to oversee and shepherd the church.  
  • Legally, our elders serve as our board for oversight.

We ask for the church’s input as we begin the process of adding new elders. Anyone can suggest names to potentially enter a year-long elder development/assessment process. After that process, some participants will be recommended as elders in years to come.


To suggest names:

1. Please pray and reflect on the servant leaders with spiritual maturity you know at Suncrest.  They should fit the descriptions of elders in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9

2. Confirm their willingness to be considered with them. (You must first get their agreement to suggest a name.)

3. Submit your suggested name(s) using this form by August 15.
