Dan Billman
Lyndell Johnson
Al Muller
Sharon Yelles

If there are any other nominations, they can be brought forward during the meeting.

The above candidates will be filling the upcoming 2026 positions. Those terms become vacant at the end of 2025, with terms ending for the following current Consistory members: Ann Marie Henne, Michelle Henne, Cindy John, and Bruce Yelles.

New Consistory Officers

The Consistory has accepted new officers starting in 2026:
Cindy Adams, President
Tom Seaman, Vice President
Elizabeth Leiby, Recording Secretary

We thank them, please welcome and support them as they move into these positions.

Elder Nominations

The December 21 Congregational Meeting will also include nominations received by our Spiritual Council.  Through prayerful consideration, these nominations were reviewed, agreed, and eligibility confirmed for the following to be ordained as new Elders:

Lari Leiby
Lyndell Johnson

After nominated by the Spiritual Council, these two recommendations were presented to Consistory, approved, and are now being asked for congregational acceptance of these nominations and electing them for Elder position.

Requesting Your Presence

All members are requested to be present for this brief, but very important meeting.

For clarification for our 20 newest members who joined this year….. Yes, everyone who joined this year is a full voting member of the church, and you have an equal voice and vote along with all of our members during this meeting.

Ordination & Installation

Pending election results - the newest Consistory members/Deacons and Elders will be installed and ordained in early January 2026 during a Sunday morning worship service.
