Hello Johns Creek Baptist Family!

As summer vacations morph into fall routines, JCBC enters a season of electing Deacons to serve our church community. You play a critical role in the process of nominating your fellow JCBC members to have their names put on a ballot from which 15 Deacons will be elected to serve three-year terms beginning in 2026.

How You Can Help
Your first opportunity to contribute is to nominate eligible church members for consideration as Deacons. To submit your nominations, you can go online or use paper forms. Nominations will be accepted through Wednesday, August 20.

How to Nominate
To submit an online nomination, please CLICK HERE. Please enter one nomination at a time!
If you choose to use paper, CLICK HERE to access a printable nomination form. The forms may be mailed to the church or placed into one of our collection boxes. The boxes will be available throughout the church until the end of the day on Wednesday, August 20.

Who Can Serve
Our church by-laws provide the following guidance for you to use as you consider your nominations for Deacon.
Nominees:

• Must be a professing Christian.
• Must have attained the age of 21 prior to April 1 of the election year.
• Must have been a member of Johns Creek Baptist Church for a minimum of two years.
  *Former members of more than two years that have returned to the church will be considered as meeting this two­year membership requirement.

Other guidelines pertain to those who are not eligible for nomination:

• Employees of Johns Creek Baptist Church are not eligible for election.
• Ministerial and Professional staff spouses, children and children’s spouses, siblings and sibling’s spouses, and parents are not eligible for election as a deacon.
• Those Deacons currently serving are not eligible for nomination. Please CLICK HERE to see a list of current Deacons.

What’s Next
After we conclude the nomination phase, we will present the church membership with an election ballot containing a list of nominated Deacon candidates. The ballot will be made up of all eligible nominees from the Nomination Process who have agreed to have their name placed on the election ballot.

Deacon nomination and selection are important processes in the life of our church. Please consider who you will nominate to serve and then go online or submit the paper form today!
