Elders

Five elders hold final authority for the church's direction, doctrine, and staffing. They serve three-year terms and are affirmed by a members' vote. Two are women.

Elders can be reached collectively at elders@thegreetyrchurch.greetyr.com. If you'd like to raise a concern about a staff member, that address goes to the elders only and is not read by staff.
