Elder Installation

Thankful for Bible gives us instruction and wisdom

Overseers and elders

We have the privilege of installing another elder at CityLight

John Fang

“desires a noble thing” what you are stepping into is a noble and honorable calling

I wanted to take a couple minutes and we wanted to affirm you

John is a humble but confident servant

John is a builder, a problem solver,

John and his family are very intentional with relationships

God has given John a gift of connecting the good news of the Gospel with the Taiwanese culture

John is vulnerable

John cares for the lost

John loves and leads his family well

Most importantly John loves Jesus

Church anytime we see leaders step into positions like this in the church, GC leader, deacon, or elder, what we are NOT saying is that John has reached perfection. No leader in this church has reached “perfection”. What the church needs more than “perfect” elders are “growing” elders who are being sanctified by God’s grace. Rich and I can confidently say that John has been hungry to grow and been humble and teachable and is growing in God’s grace.

So with that, John I turn to you and “do you willingly and humbly accept God’s call to serve as an elder at CityLight Community Church during this season? If so say “By God’s grace and the power of the Holy Spirit, I do”.

Deacons and elders let’s pray for John and his family.
