Elders Board

The office of our elders is spiritual in nature. Together with the minister, our elders have the oversight of the spiritual interests of the Church. 

​The Elder Board continues to meet every first Monday of the month by Zoom conference calls. This is the roster of our 2022 elders board:

Salvador Baldizón has been a member of the board of elders in the past and currently is Coordinator of the Elders’ Discretionary Fund. He is an MC (presents announcements) and ushers when needed at our services. Salvador says he has been a “Christian, all my life. First, as a Catholic and now, an Evangelical Christian.” Married for 42 years with two sons and three grandchildren, all living in the US. He has MD, MPH and MS degrees. For a day job he keeps busy in the areas of food, nutrition, and is a Health and Livelihoods Program Advisor for Project Concern International. His desire is seeing how the church can meet needs within the congregation but also among the poor in Guatemala.

Jose Luis Guzmán grew up in a Catholic home and went to a strict, all-boys Catholic school. While pursuing La Educación para la Salud (EPS), he met his wife. He started going to the Bible study that her mission leader hosted. It was during one of those meetings that he accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior in Acatenango, Chimaltenango, in 1980. Nancy and Jose Luis married in 1981. Both started attending Iglesia Evangélica Filadelfia Central. There, Jose Luis was the president of the elder board, and president of the construction committee. In 2003, he and Nancy started attending Union Church. His greatest desire for Union Church is to see that everyone knows Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

Edgar Nanne is 67 years old, married for 43 years, has 3 boys, and 2 of them are married. He was  born in a christian family, studied agriculture, and has worked in the flavor industry. All of this while practicing sports almost every day. At the Union Church he has been an elder for several years, served as usher at communion services, served on the Board of Finance and Administration (F&A), and in the Church council for a number of years.

Eduardo Rodríguez is an elder who has been our Christian Education chairman, interim youth leader, and 8:15 AM announcer for church services. He has taught adult Sunday but cannot do so while working with the youth, youth leader search team, and serving as a children church teacher.​
