Nominating
RCC Nominating Committee
The Bible is clear – every member is to be a minister of service.
Paul writes to the Corinthians: “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministers, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works at all things in all persons. But, to each one is given the manifestations of the Spirit for the common good.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
What is the role of the Nominating Committee?
The Nominating Committee identifies candidates for open officer and committee positions with input from the Pastor for the Deacon Board.
How does the Nominating Committee identify candidates?
The Nominating Committee uncovers RCC members’ talent and willingness to find the perfect place for them to be of service.
Please see our “Time and Talent Questionnaire” below to see the many service opportunities we have at RCC.
What is the nomination process?
The Nominating Committee:
Identifies committee members that have met their term limit or do not plan to continue with another term – these are open positions to be filled.
Determines candidate interest in open positions.
Prepares a ballot with recommended candidates to fill open positions.
Presents the ballot to the RCC Council and publishes the ballot in advance of the October Congregational Meeting.
The congregation then votes to approve the slate of candidates.
The newly elected committee members begin serving their term in January of the following year.
Elected members typically serve a two-year term and may serve in the same elected position for up to six years.
During the year, the committee also addresses vacancies and resignations by recommending candidates to fill those positions. The replacement committee members serve the unexpired terms which are not considered elected terms.
You will be blessed by serving. Peter tells us: “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” 1 Peter 4:10
