Eldership at Ecclesia Clear Lake
During the listening exercise, one of the things the elders realized was we needed to clarify their role for the community. Built upon the framework of the ECL bylaws, this document is intended to provide direction, vision, and structure for the role of elders in our community. It will also be a helpful framework when we add new elders in the future.
Keeping Kids Safe Policy
Children and youth are an integral part of our church community. They have a voice and a role in shaping who we are and who we become. Our role as adults in the community is to create safe space for their faith in the triune God to be nurtured. This is both a spiritual and a physical safety. In partnership with the Director of Family Ministries, Karis McQuinn, the elders created and approved the Keeping Kids Safe Policy. The policy is intended to be enforced at all ECL events, on and off campus.
