Elders & Deacons

Elders & Deacons

First Christian Church is under the leadership of spiritually qualified elders and deacons. Both offices are filled by men in the church and are selected by nominations from the congregation and voted upon by the active members of the church at an annual congregational meeting held on the first Sunday of January.

The elders are in charge of visiting, praying for and calling on members of the church, approving all teaching materials and they are charged to work for the general welfare of the church. Deacons are to assist the elders in carrying out the mission of the church.

The six elders serving in 2024 are: Arthur Asbshire, Bob Clark, Brian Cobb, Joe Esenbock Jr, Mike Meadows and Steve Smith.

Deacons serving in 2024 are: Jeff Elam, Rob Elam, Rafaelito Fraden, Joel Milburn and Phillip Reed.
