Nominating Committee

Colossians 3: 23–24  

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. 24 Since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. NIV

The Nominating Committee’s purpose is to seek out leaders that will help guide the congregation to fulfill the mission and the vision of MPMBC. Our role is to fill various leadership positions with candidates who are equipped by God to provide spiritual leadership. We ensure the candidates are qualified and are committed to being in a leadership role. Committee members vet the candidates to ensure they are spiritually mature, have a servant’s heart, financially supportive, wise, and are dedicated to growing in their spiritual walk. The goal of the Nominating Committee is more than filling leadership vacancies, but we seek God’s purpose for the church and identify candidates that can help us pursue the purpose.  

For more information call 317-291-6655.
