Our Elder Board is a dedicated team responsible for ensuring that the mission and vision of the church stay on focus and aligned with God’s Word and the leading of His Spirit.
Each Spring, we invite church members to submit nominations for individuals to serve on the Board of Elders for the coming year.
An Eligible Nominee is someone who is:
An active (official) member of the Church in good standing.
Twenty-one (21) years of age or older.
Personally committed to Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord and gives evidence thereof.
Actively involved, serving into the Church's ministries.
Fulfils the spiritual qualifications of an overseer listed in 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-10; 1 Peter 5:1-5.
Agrees to uphold and be subject to the Church's Constitution.
Recognizes that membership of the Board of Elders is a commitment to humble service, not a position of honour or status, nor a reward for past service.
Official PORTICO Members will be asked to affirm the ENC’s recommendations at the ABM on Sunday, October 25, 2026.
