COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS 2021

I Peter 4:10 NIV says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Each year our church has the opportunity to nominate and elect church members who possess these spiritual gifts and talents to serve on the seven Church Standing Committees and the Leadership Committee within our church. With so much excitement and opportunity ahead for FBJ, it is a great time to select men and women from our congregation to work alongside Pastor Chip and our wonderful church staff to guide our church and do Kingdom work.

The Committee on Committees is charged each year with recommending to the Church the members to serve in these elected positions. This year’s Committee on Committees is ready to begin the process, and we humbly ask that you assist us. Here is how each church member can assist:

  • Prayerfully consider and nominate men and women for the vacant, church-elected committee positions, by placing their name(s) in the boxes on this form.
  • Remember that nominees for all committees must be a church member for the last three years and must be practicing tithers.
  • If you wish, please feel free to write a comment as to why you feel led to nominate this person and include your name. This is always helpful to the members of the Committee on Committees as they evaluate nominations.
  • You may also pick up a form at the church second and third levels or download at the link below.
  • Please submit nominations by the deadline at 5:00 P.M., on Monday, October 25, 2021.
  • Be prepared to vote on the committee recommendations in November. Date and time will be announced at a later date.
  • To be a helpmate of the Senior Pastor in carrying out the Senior Pastor's leadership role by providing support, accountability, and additional insight.
