Elder Selection Process Overview
The elder selection process involves executive sessions where potential elders are discussed, keeping a broad list of candidates. If a brother shows character qualifications, he is invited to join an elders meeting for discussions and questions. A questionnaire covering personal, theological aspects is filled out by the candidate. The process involves continual assessment and feedback, leading to a unanimous vote by current elders before nomination to the congregation.
