Friends Community Church is an elder-led church. Our elders are appointed by a nominating committee and approved by our congregation at our annual business meeting each November. The elders meet with Pastor Rick each month (or more often if needed) and, together, are responsible for the spiritual health of the church body. Significant prayer and consideration go into the selection of each of our elders and we use Scriptures such as Ephesians 4:12 and 1 Timothy 3:1-7 as guides in this process.

Except for decisions required to be made by the congregational meeting, the elders will be the final point of appeal for all matters of unresolved disagreement involving staff, committees and other entities within the congregation.

If you have questions or would like to contact an elder, email info@fccbrea.org.
