In October, FBCNB approved transitioning to an elder-led, congregation-ruled church model. The Bylaws Committee worked diligently to update our bylaws accordingly, and the congregation approved an ad hoc committee to finalize and begin the process of searching for elders. The Elder Application is complete. Elder selection is by application, not by nomination. An FBCNB elder must be a man called of God who meets the qualifications of 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9 and is approved by FBCNB. If you know of anyone who meets these qualifications, please speak with him directly, encouraging him to seek God’s will and apply quickly if so led. If you feel God calling you to apply, please don’t delay. It’s a four-stage process, so please submit the first stage of the application form as soon as possible.

Please pray fervently for your church as we undergo this transition. Ask God to raise up His men for this time in the life of FBCNB.
