Nominations are open!
Are you called to serve? Do you have a passion for the mission of our church in our community? Do you know someone who may?
We are seeking people to serve our church in leadership positions on our Vestry and to represent our parish at the Council of our diocese.
Under the parish bylaws, a Candidate Qualification Committee reviews the names of persons who may stand for election to the Vestry and as Delegates to Diocesan Council. That committee has been appointed and is made up of Amanda Alvarez, Mary Anderson, Melissa Kurkul, and Becky Snell.
If you or someone you know may be called to serve on the Vestry or as a Delegate to the 2025 Diocesan Council, please let the committee know by using the appropriate Nominate button below to fill out a form. Submissions must be received by December 18, 2023. This process is being started now in order to allow time for discernment and for notification to be provided to the parish prior to the January election.
