Nominations Our Mission: “Joining our hands to strengthen His church”


The FEBC cannot function without volunteer leaders from within our own churches. By now, your church should have already received nomination forms.


The nomination process benefits the Fellowship, but it also benefits your church. Serving on one of these teams builds leadership skills and a broader understanding of Christian ministry, which can serve your local


church for years to come. Nominees will be voted on at our online Annual General Meeting, and nominations are due by Monday, June 21.


All nominees must have been a member of an FEBC church for at least two years and be nominated by their local elders. Nominees to the Board of Directors and Commission on Churches must be elder-qualified.


e FEBC depends on our churches to provide leadership. We cannot function without laypeople and pastors who are willing to serve on the FEBC team. Please consider whether you or someone you know might be qualified to “strengthen His church” by serving in one of these ways.
