President/Superintendent Search: Request for Nominations

Greetings Covenanters,

Grace and peace to you from the Leadership Board of the Canada Covenant. As you may be aware our President/Superintendent, Glenn Peterson has been called to be the Director of Church Planting for the Evangelical Covenant Church as of December 2, 2024. Consequently, we are now in the process to nominate the next President/Superintendent of the Canada Covenant Conference.

Our President/Superintendent sets the vision and pace for the conference. Working with leaders in the Covenant, the Conference, and our local churches, the President/Superintendent plays a key role in so much that will impact our ministry for years to come.

It is the responsibility of the Canada Covenant Leadership Board, serving as the search committee, to present one nominee to the Annual General Meeting of the Canada Covenant for election in May 2025. We are so encouraged by the process and ministry growth that has taken place in our conference and we are eager to see how God will lead in this process to bring about continuing fruit and growth of ministry in the future.

The committee is very aware that God has an ideal candidate in mind. It is our job to discern who that candidate is. We invite you into the process with us, through prayer and through your input. Specifically, we are soliciting nominations from throughout the Covenant.

If you would like to offer a nomination, or nominate yourself, please send your nomination and a brief statement of the reasons that underlie your nomination accompanied by your name, your local Covenant Church and address to board@covchurch.ca or mail to:

Only those who are short-listed for face-to-face interviews will be contacted. Thank you so very much for your help in this task.

Sincerely in Christ,

Jenell Pluim
