PUPROSE
The Nominating Committee (NC) supports Trinity Presbytery by nominating all moderators and members of the Presbytery Coordinating Team, Administrative Enabling Team, Mission and Evangelism Team, Discipleship and Resource Team, commissions, committees, trustees or board members of institutions, and commissioners to Synod of South Atlantic and  the General Assembly.

How Members Are Elected
While NC members nominate qualified persons to serve in all elected positions, how are members of the NC elected?

How Vacancies Are Filled
What happens when a vacancy occurs on the NC between Presbytery Meetings?
