Ministry Partner Trustees serve five-year terms. One-fifth (1/5) of the trustees retire from each board every year. As of 2021, Ministry Partner Boards must maintain an 80/20 ratio from either group of ordained members or laity. New trustees must attend an orientation meeting at the Convention Building each year. This meeting typically is held in February or March. 

Our nomination process uses DocuSign electronic forms. Nominators only need to complete the Nomination Form, then the candidates or nominees will finalize the process by submitting the appropriate supporting forms.
