The Nominating Committee nominates members of Pillar Working Groups, Pillar Conveners, Officers, Permanent Judicial Commission members, and any other committees of the Synod, unless specifically assigned to another entity. The Synod Council nominates members of the Nominating Committee, which will include a member of the Synod Council and six members elected in three equal classes. The Synod Leader and the Stated Clerk provide staff support.
The Nominating Committee works with Pillar Working Groups to determine any needs for additional members who are not Synod Assembly Commissioners and identify those whose gifts and talents could be invited in to fill these needs. They are responsible for contacting potential nominees, exploring the potential for their service and ensuring alignment between temperaments and skills and a willingness to serve. They will nominate candidates to fill all vacancies in a slate presented to Synod Assembly.
For the initial organization of the Assembly to be approved at the October 2026 meeting, the current Leadership Team will nominate the members of the Pillar Working Groups, Conveners of the Pillar Working Groups, and the Vice Moderator.
