WONDERING WHAT THE LEAD PRESBYTER NOMINATING COMMITTEE IS WORKING ON?
WE ARE HERE | BIG NET
Your Nominating Committee for Lead Presbyter is meeting weekly on Saturday mornings and has already met 6 times since being elected at the October Presbytery Assembly.
Currently the Committee is at the “Big Net” stage of evaluating Personal Information Forms (PIF’s) for candidates that have been matched with the Lead Presbyter Ministry Information Form (MIF) or applied directly. We are evaluating candidates for the best fit to the Ministry Information Form for the Lead Presbyter position.
Does the candidate meet what we are seeking based on leadership characteristics, ability to carry out the Mission, Vision & Values of Denver Presbytery and have that rare blend of gifts for strategic leadership and pastoral presence?
By the January Assembly we will have collectively evaluated at least 20 of the Personnel Information Forms (applications) we have received. We already have a list of high-quality candidates, in addition to others we want to learn more from.
What you can do:
Continue to support the Nominating Committee with your prayers.
Consider who you know that might be a candidate for Lead Presbyter in Denver Presbytery. Personally invite them to discern the ministry and if so called, submit their Personal Information Form for consideration. Don’t limit your contacts – do you know of a candidate outside the USA? Do you know someone who might have the gifts we are looking for but hasn’t considered Presbytery level ministry, but should?
Please apply through the PCUSA’s Church Leadership Connection or send PIF via email to: LPSearch@denpres.org
