Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee of a Presbyterian Church (USA) is different than any other Committee of the Session in that it is a Committee that is elected by the Congregation in a Congregational meeting to do the work of electing the officers for the Session, Deacons and the following year’s Nominating Committee.  It is one of the only committees that an incorporated congregation in the PCUSA is required to have in the make-up of its governance.
