Commissioners to the 227th General Assembly
Instructions to Apply

The 227th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) will meet in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 22-July 2, 2026. The Presbytery of Shenandoah is entitled to send two minister commissioners, two ruling elder commissioners, and one young adult advisory delegate (YAAD) to this assembly. Representing Shenandoah Presbytery at General Assembly is a tremendous opportunity to participate in the work, witness, and worship of the larger church, to provide input and insight within the Assembly and bring back to us the news of what is happening across the Presbyterian Church. Below are links to the forms requesting consideration for nomination as a minister, ruling elder, and young adult advisory delegate at this meeting. Applications should be submitted by SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 in order for the Nominating Committee to be able to consider persons for commissioners.

As the Nominating Committee looks toward recommending elders to attend the 2026 General Assembly, the committee is seeking self-referrals of ministers/teaching elders and the recommendation of ruling elders and young adult advisory delegates from which to be able to make the recommendation for election to the Presbytery. You are encouraged to let members of your session, or those who are elders but not currently active on the session, know that if they have interest, they may self-nominate so long as they have the endorsement of the session. which will be indicated by the name of the Moderator or the Clerk of Session, along with the date of session action, on the form. In addition, the session may have a ruling elder or a young adult they want to invite to fill in a form to have the name before the Nominating Committee.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping the Nominating Committee in this discernment process and for adherence to the deadline, September 1, 2025.
