Church of Scotland opportunities for service
The Church of Scotland is looking for people to serve on a range of national committees. The recruitment process is carried out by the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee is tasked with identifying members, elders, deacons, and ministers with particular skills and experience for serving on General Assembly Standing Committees. The Nomination Committee recommends names to the General Assembly of 2026. The Assembly has the power to accept or reject these nominations. The Committee's task is to identify people whose skills and experience will be of particular use to a given area of work. It also seeks to maintain age balance and a fair geographical representation.
There are many people with the necessary skills and commitment and your assistance is warmly invited. If you wish to be considered for nomination to serve on one of the committees, please complete the online Nomination Form at this link. All members of each of the committees are expected to serve a four-year term. All submissions must be with the Committee by Sunday 18 January 2026.
Nominees must normally be members of the Church of Scotland. Nominations also require to be supported by a third party as listed on the Nomination Form. If you are nominating someone else, please approach the individual(s) concerned and ask them to complete the Nomination Form and include your personal details. Those supporting a nominee are asked to complete the Supporting a Nomination Form.
Once the Nomination Committee has met at the beginning of February, those selected will be contacted. It is possible that nominees may be approached to serve on a Standing Committee other than those they have mentioned on their form. Also, if they are not invited to serve, their details will be retained for the coming year and they may be approached to fill any mid-term vacancies that arise.
