Leadership
It is an immense joy and pleasure to serve, shepherd, and lead in various capacities here at CLEFC.
ELDER BOARD
The Board of Elders at Clear Lake Evangelical Free Church is composed of five members, elected to a three-year term by vote of the congregation. Elder terms are staggered so that one third of the members of the board will be elected at the annual business meeting held early each year. Nominees are expected to meet the biblical requirements set forth in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9.
