Serving the General Council

Spring 2012

The General Council seeks members for a variety of committees twice a year. We invite you to encourage others who may be called to this work, or to put forward your own expression of interest. As you consider these roles, it is good to pause, to hold the work and ministry of the General Council in mind, and to ponder: Who is the person with the God-given gifts to contribute to this work? Who is God calling at this time?

Please see Discernment for more information on discerning a call to serve. See How to Submit a Nomination for details on how to nominate a person or to express your own call.

Submit complete nominations or expressions of interest by Tuesday, February 21, to the office of Member Engagement.

Most of these appointments begin in June or August.
