We are blessed to have four godly men currently serving as elders for our congregation. They, along with their wives, do so much on behalf of this congregation, much of which is never seen or recognized. We are deeply grateful to these men and their families for their years of faithful service, and we look forward to many more years of their Christ-centered leadership.

While our current elders are doing an outstanding job of shepherding the flock, each one of them understands that the work is much bigger than any one individual. They desire to see God’s kingdom continue to grow, not only today but for generations to come. They also recognize that, for this work to continue, more faithful servants are needed to help advance the cause of Christ.

A couple of weeks ago, our shepherds presented Brad Byrd and Charlie Davidson to the congregation for consideration as elders. They asked each of us to prayerfully examine the qualifications for elders as revealed in the New Testament (I Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9). I have no doubt that many of you have done exactly that. During the past two weeks, no scriptural objections have been raised concerning either of these good brothers. Therefore, at the close of our service this morning, brothers Brad Byrd and Charlie Davidson will be appointed to serve as shepherds alongside Brian Byrd, Randy Cary, Randall Smith and Bob Tracy.

We are truly grateful for each of our elders and appreciate their willingness to accept this important responsibility. I encourage you to pray regularly for these men and their families. The work of an elder is not easy, but it is among the most meaningful works in God’s kingdom. They need our prayers, our encouragement, and our support as they lovingly shepherd this congregation.

Likewise, we are especially thankful for the faithful wives who stand beside these men, offering their love, encouragement, and support in countless ways. Together, they are a tremendous blessing to the Walter Hill congregation.

It is our prayer that, under the leadership of these faithful shepherds, this congregation will continue to be a bright light in our community and throughout the world for many years to come. May God continue to bless their efforts, strengthen their work, and use this church for His glory. To God be all the glory!
