Bishop Election

Some information and resources from the Synod Bishop Election Committee

Your observations and needs

There will be time at the Assembly to hear about observations and needs from each cluster to aid our group’s discernment and paint a picture of ministry in Alaska for those nominated to be bishop on our first ballot. 

​Your church will be contacted by a voting member from your cluster who will be looking for observations from your context that they can bring to the entire Assembly.

What is a Bishop?

a prayer-intensive process​

At the Assembly,  we will gather in God’s grace for fellowship, worship, dreaming, learning, and to elect a bishop to share in ministry over the next 6 years.

​This is a prayer-intensive process as we listen to our communities and God’s Spirit.  It will be different than any election you’ve been part of!
