Elders
Grace Fellowship is led by a group of elders. These men lead the church in all spiritual matters, meeting regularly to discuss the ministries of the church, to pray for the people and the needs of the church, and to discuss how to better serve as shepherds of the church.
These men are elected by the church to serve a three-year term, with an optional one-year sabbatical, followed by a 2nd three-year term. At the conclusion of this seven-year period, they are eligible for re-election by the church to continue to serve.
Over the years, GFC has been blessed to have had several faithful, godly men lead in this capacity. Our current elders are:
Dennis Lankford, pastor, Tony Bowling, Steve Haught, Ken Leffew, and Jon Tayor.
