The Ministry Placement Committee is now accepting nominations for the Church Leadership Candidate Group. This group will be the source of candidates for:
  • Church Council
  • Ministry Placement Committee
  • Finance/Human Resource Committee
  • Deacons
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.). Additionally, if you know someone who would make a good candidate for the Church Leadership Candidate Group, please encourage him or her to complete the self-nomination process. Nominations should be submitted by next Wednesday, October 11. 

The Ministry Placement Team, in conjunction with the current Deacons and Church Council, will use the self-nominations, along with nominations from Church Council, Deacons, Grow Group Leaders, and Church Ministerial Staff, to recommend final nominees to Church Council. Church Council will use the nominees to develop a final slate for presentation to church members for final approval and vote on Sunday, December 17.
