Making Disciples in
2025 Lay Elder Candidates
In October 2023, 3BC voted to include lay pastors as part of its shepherding staff. This was the culmination of a long and deliberate process that involved many meetings and discussions. This resulted in adding the office of lay pastor to our Constitution & Bylaws.
Since that time, we have prayed for wisdom in moving forward with men who aspire to serve 3BC as lay elders. That prayer was answered when three men answered the call to serve.
Over the next three Sundays (starting 8/17), you will hear the testimony of Mike Dewees, John Putman, and Paul Johnson. These men have met consistently with the pastors since January 2025, to explore what it means to be a lay pastor. In July, these men met with the pastors to answer questions regarding their theology, doctrine, and support of SBC & 3BC ministries and missions.
This past Sunday, the Personnel Committee met with each man to discuss their faith, their passion for service, and what it means to be a lay pastor. On Sunday, September 7, we will have a special-called member’s meeting to hear a motion from our Personnel Committee that these men be called to serve as lay pastors alongside our current pastors.
If you aren’t familiar with these men, you can use the "Prospective Elders" button below to read their biography and testimony after they give it in our worship.
We are excited as we move forward to experience the full expression of our plurality of pastors model. This is one more example of how the Lord is blessing our congregation.
