Nominations to serve at the 227 General Assembly now open!
The Committee on Nominations and Representation (CNR) has extended the deadline for accepting nominations for a Teaching Elder and a Ruling Elder Commissioner, as well as Young Adult Advisory Delegate (YAAD), to represent Eastminster Presbytery next summer, June 22–July 2, 2026. Those interested in serving can email a completed self-nomination form to Larry Bowald, pastor@canfieldpres.org
The General Assembly will meet both online and in person. Committees will work virtually from June 22-26 and then travel for in-person meetings from June 28-July 2 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Online introductory gatherings and training sessions will take place from April through June.
Serving as a Commissioner or Advisory Delegate to GA offers a unique opportunity to see how God is working beyond our local churches and Presbytery. It is inspiring to witness historic church decisions and feel the Spirit at work. Even when we may disagree with the Assembly’s actions, it’s valuable to understand and lovingly embrace differences.
