Elder Support of Pastors Involved in Church Discipline
Statement of Elder Support for Those Involved in the Church Discipline Process:
July 2, 2009
We the Elders of Grace Church do hereby affirm and support the actions of our fellow ministers (Pastor Jeff Kornoelje, Pastor Clark Crebar, former Elder Rick Nelson, Elder Chairperson Dave Carlson, Elder Dan Meiusi, and Elder Sam Raia), in their attempts to bring reconciliation and corrective discipline to errant church members.
It is our prayerful opinion that they have acted in a humble, loving, and godly manner throughout the process of seeking biblical restoration of those members.
Step by step they compassionately followed scriptural admonition to restore these members while protecting the Grace Church family. We consider any accusations against these pastors and elders, as a result of these situations, as untrue and slanderous.
