Elder Updates • 3.19.2026
It is with heartfelt love and gratitude that we wish Miguel Lemming and Chuck Pederson well as they completed five-year terms as FAC Elders on March 3rd, and are moving on to serve the Lord in other areas of mission and ministry. In their role as shepherds, Chuck and Miguel supported our FAC family with affection, commitment, and grace imbued by the Holy Spirit, and have been steady, wise, and energetic brothers in Christ.
As the new structure of the Elder Board is in place, we have identified Elders who will serve as officers of the Board as follows:
We seek congregational affirmation of these appointments. A link will be provided on the FAC website for members of our congregation to provide that affirmation.
