Dear Johns Creek Baptist Family,

I hope this letter finds you enjoying your summer.  For us at Johns Creek Baptist Church, we now enter the season to begin the process of electing a slate of 15 Deacons to serve a three-year term starting in January 2023.  Due to a recent church by-laws change, we are only electing 15 Deacons.  Each church member plays a critical role in this process, and your first step will be to nominate eligible church members for consideration as Deacons.  I would like to encourage your participation.

This year, we will utilize our “on-line” nomination method, as well as, our traditional paper forms to put forth nominations.  Our nomination period will run Wednesday, July 20^th through Wednesday, August 24^th.  Church members may nominate up to 15 eligible persons.

• To submit an on-line nomination, please scroll to the bottom of this page to complete a one-at-a-time form for each nominee.
• You may also click here to gain access to a nomination form which you can print. Paper forms may be mailed to the church or turned into one of our collection boxes, which will be available throughout the church to end-of-business on Wednesday, August 24th.

Our church by-laws provide the following guidance for you to use as you consider your nominations for Deacon:

• Being a professing Christian.
• Having attained the age of 21 prior to April 1 of the election year.
• Being 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 the two-year membership requirement.
• 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 as well. Please see an attached list of current Deacons.

After we conclude the nomination phase, we will present the church membership an election ballot containing a list of nominated Deacon candidates.  The ballot will be comprised of all eligible nominees from the above Nomination Process who have agreed to have their name placed on the election ballot. Church members will have the opportunity to vote for up to 15 Deacons.

This is a very important event in the life of our church. All members are strongly encouraged to prayerfully participate and to nominate eligible members for the role of Deacon.  Thank you.

In Christ,

Danny Henderson
Deacon Chair 2022
