Elder Nominations

The 2026 Nominating Committee invites your suggestions for new Elders who will serve for the next three years, 2027–2029 (Class of 2029), and Nominating Committee members for 2027. Current committee members are Rick Richardson (Elder/Chair), Shirley Harris, Jerry Hutchens, Cristy McKinney, and Hope Squires (Elder).

Recommended persons should be active—but not affiliate—members of Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church who demonstrate faith, dedication, and good judgment.
The Nominating Committee is tasked with nominating four elders—two women and two men, per Rumple’s Manual of Procedures—for a three-year term and three at-large members for the 2027 Nominating Committee.

The current Nominating Committee has begun its prayerful deliberations of selecting nominees willing to serve. Once the committee has its slate of nominees, Rumple’s Session will call a congregational meeting for the purpose of electing Elders and Nominating Committee members.

We will share the names and biographies of the nominees prior to the congregational meeting. As is allowed in Presbyterian polity, other candidates may be nominated from the floor during the congregational meeting, as long as the nominating person has secured the permission of the candidate. All active members of Rumple are eligible to vote at the congregational meeting.

The deadline for nominations is July 26, 2026. Fill out the Google form, here, or grab a paper copy from the Rumple House.
