The Church needs your voice: Apply now to serve on the UCC Board

People from across the United Church of Christ are encouraged to offer their unique talents, skills, and perspectives in service with the UCC Board.

Applications are open now for UCC Board terms that will begin during the upcoming 2025 General Synod in Kansas City. Applications are also open for individuals to serve in the leadership positions of Moderator and Moderator-elect for General Synod 36 in 2028. Individuals are invited to self-nominate by beginning an application.

“The Church needs to have a voice in how people of faith respond to issues of the world, and the UCC Board is a wonderful place to have that kind of input,” said the Rev. June Boutwell, chair of the UCC Nominating Committee.

Applications close on November 30, and Boutwell encourages people to get started by applying now.

“We especially encourage laypeople, younger people, and people of color to bring their passion, experience, and viewpoints to the Board and to apply for a nomination,” she said. “We really benefit from more young people on the Board because we need to be thinking of what the church needs to be in this day and age.”

Nominating Committee member Rev. Rebecca Sausser created this video to educate young people about service to the UCC Board.
