Nominations and Leadership Development
Members of the Aldersgate Leadership Team are to be spiritually mature Christ-followers who are passionate about the mission and vision of Aldersgate, and who are spiritually gifted and called to be part of this team. The Leadership Team will consist of 15 lay members serving in three rotating classes. Leadership Team terms are for three (3) years in the areas of Finance, Trustees, and Staff Parish Relations (our Human Resources area). The Leadership Team also includes our Engage, Connect, Equip, and Send ministries, as well as representation from our Youth, United Methodist Women, and United Methodist Men. The Lead Pastor, Associate Pastor(s), and Church Executive Director are permanent ex-officio members of the Leadership Team.
The lay members of the Leadership Team are nominated by the Nominations Committee for election at a Charge Conference held in June, with their terms beginning on July 1st. Persons who discern that they may be called by God to serve on the Leadership Team will complete a Profile Application and Spiritual Gifts Inventory and may be interviewed by the existing Leadership Team members as part of the discernment and nominating process.
