Each year, the congregation appoints a Congregational Nominating Committee (CNC) for the purpose of nominating six Elders, eight Deacons and three Trustees. The CNC begins its task by soliciting recommendations from the congregation for each of these positions. Members of the congregation are asked to prayerfully consider and recommend those individuals who would be a good fit for the lay leadership roles.

The nominatation process:

  • Elder
  • Trustee
  • Deacons
  • How to Recommend a Church Officer
  • CNC Recommendation Form

The Lay Leadership (or Church Officers) of First Pres seek to honor Christ and to lead the church in the way of our Lord, striving to be role models of the First Presbyterian Church Mission Statement: Centered in Christ, Faithful to Scripture, and United for Mission.
