Elder Nomination Process & Documentation

As a church, we operate as a congregation under the guidance of Jesus through the leadership provided by elected Elders and called Pastors. The members are responsible to nominate and affirm Elders to help us pursue our mission to be a Christlike community of hope. Elders give both spiritual and governance oversight. As we approach our next Annual General Meeting in November of 2026, we invite you to prayerfully consider nominations for our Eldership team.

The documents below explain what qualities define an Elder, how Elders serve at the Bay, the process for Elder nominations, and how you can nominate someone. Please click on the links to access these documents.

Nominations are due to Anna Jones in person or digitally by 1 November, 2026. Contact the office for her details.
