Self-nominations are a vital part of creating our Church Leadership Candidate Group.  If you are interested in serving in some capacity, please review the
applicable commitment form and qualifications . You may then email Donna Blankenship at  [email protected]  with your self-nomination, along with where you would like to serve (Church Council, Deacon, etc.).
