Elders are a called group of individuals whose goal is to support the spiritual life of the people of God here at HNLC. The traditional description of an elder can be found in 1 Tim 3: 1-7. The efforts of the elders are often not as easily seen as with other ministries. Elders are called to lead in service (1 Peter 5) and in prayer (James 5:14). And, just as important as supporting the people, elders support the pastor and aid him as needed in his service to the people. As of this writing, the elders of HNLC consist of the following individuals: Steve Lohrmann, Eleanor Hoban, Gary Heckathorn, Barbara Ambrose, Nick Mason, Naomi Gracie, John Schiller and Rick LaCourse. These persons have been set out to serve you. Please feel free to reach out to any of them with your prayer needs, concerns, complements or whatever it may be that the Lord has placed on your heart.
Over the next few months, short biographies of these elders will be published for you to get to know these special people better.
