Recommending Elders

The Elder Nominating Team asks you to prayerfully consider recommending covenant partners you feel would make good elders for our church. Elders will:

• Provide spiritual and strategic leadership
• Serve on the Session and on an assigned Commission
• Pray for the church, fellow elders, and Covenant Partners
• Bathe decisions regarding the church’s mission and ministry in prayer and God’s Word
• Lead WPC into the fulfillment of God’s direction for WPC as expressed in its Mission Statement and Core Values 

According to Scripture, elders are to be the church's spiritual leaders, praying for and with people, preaching and teaching the Word, shepherding the congregation in their walk with Christ, and making decisions important to the well-being of the congregation. 

On this recommendation sheet (PDF link), please list the names of Covenant Partners whom you feel would be good Elders as well as the qualities making them good shepherds for our church. Please return to Cathy Hyatt by email or mail to 309 Fernwood Drive, Spartanburg, SC 29307 by April 30, 2025.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
