Group summary:

If you are feeling any aspirations toward being an elder for God's glory in and thru the Bellefield family, or if you wish to explore more how to glorify God as an elder, this growth group is for you. Being part of this group will not guarantee you to be an elder at Bellefield. Not being part of this group will neither disqualify you from being an elder here. Such recommendations remain alone with the Nominating Committee and the congregational vote. These Sundays will, however, by God's grace, equip you with Biblical understandings from God's Word as to how to serve in leadership with humility, truth and love, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. This group will meet on Sundays from 4 to 5 sharp in the Pastor's Study. We begin Sunday, September 12. We will be studying 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, as well as Reformed theological perspectives on glorifying God in ministry and mission. Current and past elders also most welcome.
