Elder Team
Grace Church is led by a group of men called elders.
The group of elders are laymen who serve in a purely volunteer basis as the legal officers and spiritual guides of the church. The lay elders are joined on the Elder Board by the Pastor. Lay elders serve for terms of typically three years followed by a sabbatical year. The Elder Board members are: Michael Belote, Jud Jones, Jerry McCall, Roger Von Edwins, and Bill Wenneker; and of course, Pastor Joshua Hurlburt. At any given time, 1-2 elders are on sabbatical.
