ECORC Ministry Teams

Nominations are now open and will close on April 17th, 2021

Regional Council Nominations for General Council 44 Commissioners: The national governing body for our church is the General Council (GC), and its next full meeting will be GC44 in July, 2022. The meeting will, for the first time in the history of our church, be conducted entirely on-line. Before the COVID pandemic, GC44 was planned for Calgary. Voting delegates to GC44, known as commissioners, will be elected across the country in 2021 by Regional Councils and the National Indigenous Council. This will allow education sessions for commissioners to begin early in 2022. Commissioners serve until the next full meeting of the General Council, normally a period of 3 years.

Regional Council Nominations for Expression of Interest: We all have different spiritual gifts to offer, and we can use those gifts in many different settings…our own community of faith, local community organizations, and in our interactions with all those we meet. But, have you ever considered widening the impact of your gifts, by offering them to the broader United Church of Canada? Our East Central Ontario Regional Council has opportunities for a variety of different gifts to be shared.
