Psst!!! Do you know someone…
…that you think would be a good leader of our church (maybe yourself)?

If so, don’t keep it a secret! 

Email Helena Grant, Nominating Committee Chair, with your suggestion.
Please include the following:
  • Nominee’s Full name 
  • Elder or Deacon
  • Why you feel the person would make a good leader
  • Whether or not you have asked this person if they would like to serve

Here are some of the traits we look for in Deacons:
  • Excited about drawing people together
  • Engaged by the idea of showing compassion and care to those in our congregation
  • Invested in the growth of God’s community here at NPPC*

Here are some of the traits we look for Elders:
  • Diplomatic and able to really hear ideas they may not agree with
  • Interested in the details of running an organization like NPPC
  •  Devoted to ensuring that the mission of NPPC thrives

Your Nominating Committee needs these responses by July 10 to ensure we are able to give all suggestions the merit and consideration deserved.
