Nominating Instructions to Church Members

Nomination Sheets must be returned by Sunday, March 3, 2024.
Nominations will not be accepted after the deadline.

Nomination forms will be available at the church welcome desk. After completing the form place it in the nomination box which is also located at the church welcome desk.
If you are unable to be at church to participate on-site, please contact the Nominating Committee at nominate@cbcjoy.org so we can identify an alternative option for you.

The Nominations sheet will include a list of names of individuals who are currently serving on the different Leadership Teams. These individuals do not need to be nominated again, nor are they needing votes to continue serving. Their names are listed simply as a reference when considering new individuals to be nominated.

Please Note: Recent updates relative to our policies regarding conflict of interest and divorce will potentially allow for more candidates to be eligible to serve in roles where they were previously ineligible. Details about those changes will be provided at an informational meeting on March 13 at 6:30 p.m. in the Choir Room. Please move forward to offer the nominations you believe God’s Spirit is leading you to make!
