According to the qualifications outlined in Scripture, elders shall be selected by congregational vote at the annual business meeting (I Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-9). Each September, the congregation shall submit nominations, which the current elders shall then review during the month of October. The elders shall personally interview potential candidates and prepare a final list to be presented to the congregation on the first Sunday in November. All candidates must agree, that if elected, they will attend two annual training sessions with the existing elders. The training sessions will be offered by the minister and/or the elders.

Elders shall be elected for a period of three (3) years and shall be eligible for re-election. Candidates shall have been members of the congregation for at least six months before the month of nomination. The number chosen for service shall be determined by the needs of the congregation (Acts 6:1-6).
