Shepherd selection process
Our church is in the middle of a process to select new shepherds and affirm existing ones. From November 21 through December 31, we are participating in 40 days of prayer for our new nominees and current shepherds, as well as for discernment and wisdom for our church family.
Our new candidates are Cary Beard, Gary Douglass, Bobby Lawson, and Mark Phillips. View the videos below to learn more about them.
Our current shepherds are Bob Benham, Donnie Carroll, Carley Dodd, Ed Emerson, Mark Hanner, Todd Hooper, Steven Leggett, Dave Merrell, Danny Minton, JR Rodriguez, Guy Saylor, and Mike Watson. View their photos here.
In January of 2022, there will be a one-week window for scriptural objections to be brought forward for current shepherds or new nominees, followed by a congregational vote.
