Sojourn ELDERSHIP CANDIDATES



Over the last year and a half, we have been working to expand the Elder Team.  
Two new Elders were installed January, 2023.  

Below are the names of two elder candidates who have been walking through the assessment process over the last year are now ready for the fourth and final phase that requires participation from the membership.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

For the ‘Member Assessment’ phase, your voice is critical to the process.  We are asking you to raise any and all concerns that you may have about each candidate's character, leadership or theology.  

The concerns you raise will remain confidential.  


We are seeking to utilize the month of July to hear and respond to all concerns that might be raised by the membership.  

Please prayerfully consider the two candidates below and reach out to us using the links that can be found below each candidates name.
