Nominations will be open August 10 – September 19, 2025

Following the pattern in Acts 6:1–7, the Calvary congregation identifies potential candidates for elders and deacons through the nomination process. The serving elders then review the candidates according to biblical qualifications and present qualifying candidates to the congregation for election. Scripture is clear that the Holy Spirit guides us in choosing elders and deacons for service (Acts 20:28).

• Elders serve 4-year terms.
• Deacons serve 3-year terms.

The Calvary Church annual election of elders and deacons will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at 11:15 AM after the worship service in the Sanctuary.
