Thank you for taking time to complete an elder nomination. This is an important position for our church, one that is not to be taken lightly. As such, we ask that you prayerfully complete this nomination and evaluate each question honestly based on your knowledge of the nominee’s qualifications for the office of elder for JCI.

Please take time to read 1 Timothy 3:1-11, Titus 1:5-9, and 1 Peter 5:1-7, which describe the qualifications for elders.

Please answer all questions. If you do not know if the nominee is qualified in an area, mark the “Don’t Know” box. This is an acceptable answer and will not be held against the nominee.
