Nominating Committee Update - June 2019

 The Nominating Committee members are elected by the congregation to represent the diversity of the church membership.  Currently, the following individuals are members of the committee:  Judy Baker, Greg Eyler, Shirley Hessler, Julie Houser, Jim Jones, Heather Lewis, Deacon Representative, and Marcia Trokhan, Elder and Committee Chair.

 The Role of the Committee

 Following the Book of Order, we nominate and elect members from the congregation to be Elders and Deacons.  Currently, we are preparing a slate of new officers to be presented at the next congregational meeting in August. 

 Philosophy (succession planning):

 It is our hope that church members who would like to serve as a Ruling Elder will have served on one of the standing committees prior to their election.   We work closely with the chairs of each committee to identify potential leaders. As you assimilate into the life of the church, please consider joining a committee that serves your interests and talents. 

 The Board of Deacons serves our congregation and community in many ways.  We encourage members who may like to serve as a Deacon to talk with any of the Deacons or members of the Nominating Committee to make their interests known.
