As we continue the process of providing nominations for the January, 2022 Assembly, we have a number of positions available for ruling elders.
Specifically, we need volunteers, especially females, to serve on the Committee on Ministry (COM) in Classes 2023 and 2024. This very important committee works with ministers and congregations and Presbytery resources to help address many issues. COM helps churches in transition, supports congregations in times of stress and is particularly important when a congregation seeks an interim or called pastor.
Individuals who enjoy a challenge while working to achieve a successful result will find serving on COM a rewarding experience. Although we have emphasized our recruiting for ruling elders, we also need ministers to serve on COM. COM meets at 6:00 p.m. on the first Monday of the month, currently by Zoom.
We also need ruling elders and ministers (male and female) to serve on the Committee for Preparation for Ministry. This committee provides mentoring and support to inquirers and candidates seeking to enter ordained ministry. Individuals serving on the CPM often build close bonds with persons entering the ministry and help enable that person to prepare for all the steps towards ordination. Persons with an willingness to work with candidates using PCUSA educational requirements and standards are needed throughout the year.
We also have one opening on the Partnership of Zimbabwe and Denver Presbyteries (PZDP) Committee for either a male or female minister, elder, deacon or lay person. The PZDP is our mission outreach to our brothers and sister in Zimbabwe and is a very enjoyable way to support Christ’s church in Zimbabwe.
Also, active and retired ministers are always needed in various leadership roles throughout Presbytery standing committees and work groups.
We have received no YAAD applications for General Assembly in 2022. If you know of a young member of the church age 17-23 who is interested, application can be found online on our website, click here.
Thank you for the help. We look forward to hearing from you with all those wonderful names!
