Nomination Process
1. The Nominating Committee is composed of 2 Elders, 2 Ministry Team Leaders, 2 Members at Large, and the Pastor. The Chair of the Committee is one of the Elders, and is selected by the Elders’ Council.
2. At the October Quarterly Congregational Meeting, the Members at Large are selected.
3. Nomination forms will be handed out in late October or early November and nominations will be open for 3 Sundays.
4. Nominations may be made by any member of the Church. It is wise that nominations be made by someone who is “arms length” from the nominee (ie. A wife should not nominate her husband. A father should not nominate his daughter.)
5. Nominees are asked to complete an application form which will assist the Nominating Committee to understand their heart for that ministry. Application forms are available from the Chair of the Nominating Committee or the Pastor.
6. Completed Nomination and Application Forms can be given to any member of the Nominating Committee.
7. The Nominating Committee (and the Church as a whole) will pray for this process and each individual nominated.
8. Each candidate for a position will be interviewed by the Nominating Committee.
9. Through prayer and discernment the Committee will seek unity in what they perceive the Spirit is leading the Committee to do. If a vote is needed, a 2/3 majority is required.
10. If someone is in conflict of interest, then they should remove themselves from that discussion/vote.
11. The Nominating Committee will walk in unity after the process is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Do I have to speak to the person I am nominating before I submit the nomination?
People being nominated need to be able to accept or decline the nomination. It is a great opportunity to encourage the person being nominated by identifying the gifts noted in that person.
2. I have a heart for one of these ministries. Can I nominate myself?
Our desire is to have people serving out of a heart for ministry. It is wonderful when people identify their vision to the leadership of the Church. In this case, you are encouraged to speak with the Pastor or an Elder or Ministry Network Leader on the Nominating Committee. They can help you discern your gifts and vision and do the nomination for you.
3. I am interested in serving as one of the Ministry Network Leaders that are not up for nomination this year. Can I be nominated into a position that is currently filled?
At this time our processes do not allow for that, but you are encouraged to speak with the Pastor or an Elder or Ministry Network Leader on the Nominating Committee and they can help you discern your gifts and vision and help you find a way to serve.
