Deacon selection process
The Leadership Team at Redemption Hill consists of our elders and deacons. Our deacons are selected by the congregation to serve for a term of three consecutive years, rotating off one year before becoming eligible to be considered for another term. The selection process includes the following steps:
1. Members of our church may nominate male Redemption Hill members who meet the qualifications for deacons as stated in I Timothy 3:8-12.
2. Nominees will be contacted and given the option to accept or decline the nomination.
3. All who accept the nomination will attend an orientation where the responsibilities and role of deacons shall be explained. All nominees will prayerfully consider and fill out their application to be reviewed by pastoral staff.
4. The candidates for the office of deacon approved by pastoral staff will be presented to the congregation for confirmation by a church vote.
