About Me:
Born and raised in the CRC -- and shocked to discover that doors that I didn't even know were shut flew open when I got married and took on a Dutch surname! 19 years as faculty at Bethel University in Minnesota, 9 years sharing the CRC Chaplaincy at the University of Northern BC with my dear husband Neil. Currently we are taking on short term projects (2-9 months) for churches and ministries in the midst of challenges and bumpy transitions.

I've used "The Elders Handbook" in other years, but it felt like it best served the people who had already served as an elder for a year or more -- which in some years includes all the new elders...

The comments below suggest that there is a wealth of good training material available for deacons -- but it looks thin when it comes to elders. Do people have any good resources to suggest for...
