Nominations for Church Leadership Positions

Every fall members of Goshen Baptist Church may nominate individuals to serve in various church leadership roles during the following year(s).  Here is a timeline for the process this year, along with a few guidelines:

• Nomination forms will be available as of Sunday, Sept. 27.
• Completed forms must be returned by Sunday, Oct. 11.
• Nomination forms can be picked up at the Welcome Table or downloaded (click HERE); forms should be returned to the collection box at the Welcome Table or emailed to the church office (click HERE).
• Those who are nominated must be church members.
• Those nominated for Elder must be men.
• The Nomination Review Committee will review and respond to nomina­tions, and prepare a ballot for publication on Sun­days Nov. 8, 15, & 22 regarding action items in preparation for the Business Meeting on Sunday, Nov. 22, at 5:30 p.m.

Please keep in mind the following points about our nomination process as you prayerfully consider nominating someone to serve as an Elder, Deacon/Deaconess, or Officer:

• If you’re nominating someone, please do not ask or inform that person, but simply submit the nomination after careful and prayerful reflection on the individual’s qualifica­tions.  It is the Nomination Review Committee’s responsi­bility to review and evaluate nominations, and then, if appropriate, communicate with people who have been nominated.
• The Nominating Form (available at the Welcome Table) includes several guidelines as to the qualifica­tions for service as in these roles.  So please read the form carefully before making a nomination.
