To the members of Big Valley Grace Community Church, the Elder Board unanimously recommends Darryl One for reaffirmation for a second three-year term. We ask our members to prayerfully affirm this man according to the biblical guidelines for elder qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3;1-7:

Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. if anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
