Voting Period: April 20–26, 2026
All Scottsdale Bible Church members are invited to vote to approve three candidates to join the 2026/27 Nominating Committee. This committee consists of volunteers who meet throughout the year to prayerfully select, interview, and recommend nominees for open positions on the SBC Elder Board. Those nominees are then presented to the Elder Board who pray over the names and submit the final list of candidates for your approval.
Nominating Committee members serve a two-year term, and two sitting Elders serve on the team as chair and vice chair. This year's candidates and their biographies are shown below.
An email with a personalized link to vote for these candidates will be sent to all members on Monday, April 20.
Thank you for your participation in this important vote!
