“Meet Our Two New Elders!”

Thursday, November 01, 2018

At this past Sunday’s service, in conjunction with our guest speaker series, we appointed two new men to serve our church family as shepherds. We’d like to briefly introduce you to them here.

Scott Boatright has been a member of our congregation since his family moved to Louisville when he was a kid. Scott and his wife, Heather, have been very active members of the church for a long time. It’s no stretch to say that they are the glue that holds a lot of close friendships together, especially among couples their age and younger. Scott has a particular knack for fostering unity and closeness between fellow church members, and that is a characteristic that we are so grateful to have in our shepherds. We’re so thankful that he and his family are willing to take on the responsibility of shepherding the souls of others to Jesus.

Jon Bingham has been an Eastland member for just over three years, and in that time, he and his family have solidified their role as people of integrity and very diligent servants. Jon and his wife, Bethany, have both been great examples of hospitality, opening their home practically every week to members of our church family and others. Jon is also very enthusiastic about evangelism; he is the driving force behind our Meetups calendar and often asks for one-on-one Bible studies with church members or unchurched friends. These two characteristics—hospitable and evangelistic—are the kinds of characteristics that we always hope to have in our shepherds, and we're thankful Jon is willing to serve in this way.

The Lord continues to be good to our church family, and we continue to be thankful for all of his goodness. We would ask you to pray for all of our shepherds, for our ministers, for our deacons, and for all who work to do the Lord’s will and bring others to the only Savior for all mankind, Jesus the Christ.
