Qualified persons are being sought from across the life of the Church to serve on the moderator team and the General Nominating Committee (GNC) to the General Board. Brenda Etheridge, chair of the GNC, notes that each biennium, the GNC seeks nominations for persons to serve in these positions. The committee also hopes to develop a database of people with specific gifts and skills, which will be available to general ministries that are searching for qualified board members.

The moderator team, which is comprised of a moderator, first vice moderator and second vice moderator, serves a two-year term. GNC members serve four-year terms, and have the responsibility of ensuring diverse leadership in the life of the Church. Nominations are being received through Oct. 1. https://secure.disciples.org/gncnominations/
