This Committee is not yet fully formed. On August 4, 2024 all proposed bylaw changes, including the newly created Committee for Committees section, passed with over 91% in favor.

On November 24, 2024, we voted on two names to begin forming the Committee for Committees. Since these individuals were approved, they are responsible “to identify, train, and mentor new and existing Standing Committee members and Volunteer Ministry Leaders,” per our By-Laws.
