1. Election of officers. Each year at this time, our congregation elects officers (elders, deacons, and trustees) and nominations committee members. Elders provide spiritual oversight for our church and are the highest "office" in our church. Deacons perform acts of sympathy and service. Trustees manage our church facilities and financial systems. Each of these officers serves a three-year term. In addition, nominations committee members are elected by the congregation for a two-year term.

The following slate of candidates is being unanimously recommended by the Nominations Committee. For the office of elder: Deb Wallin, Tom Dennis (second term), Tim Driessnack (second term), Duane Ellis (second term).

For the Nominations Committee: Dean Wallin (second term), Brian LaMew (second term).
