President Search Process

At the 19th Alaska Conference constituency session, delegates voted to refer the position of president to the new Executive Committee to fill. The Alaska Conference (AKC) Bylaws specify the use of the Executive Committee (elected at the last AKC constituency meeting) to elect any new conference officer between sessions. So now the process begins to find a new conference president. The presidential search process is led by North Pacific Union Conference (NPUC) administration in collaboration with AKC administration team and following AKC Constitution and Bylaws. Here's what to expect in the presidential search process:

  1. The overall process is expected to take 3-4 months.
  2. There are two surveys: one for members and one for local church and conference leaders.
  3. The survey results will be collected and collated by NPUC and provided to Alaska Conference nominating/executive committee.
  4. Suggested names of candidates will be assessed by the needs and strengths noted in the surveys along with administrative skills, relational skills, and experience.
  5. Qualified persons will be asked to consider being on a list of potential candidates.
  6. The nominating/executive committee will meet throughout the process to pray and work through the election process.
  7. Once the top ranked candidate is identified, this person will have an in-person interview.
  8. With a successful interview, the top ranked candidate will be extended a call to pray about and then accept or decline.

Your participation in the survey and your prayers are invaluable as we navigate this significant transition. Thank you for sharing your insights and perspectives through this survey, and for your continued dedication to Alaska Conference.

NPUC Annual Offering For AMA

NPUC Annual Offering For AMA

November 30, 2024 is the NPUC annual offering in support of Arctic Mission Adventure. AMA has workers living and working in eight communities at an annual cost of $30,000 per village. These dedicated workers provide ministries tailored to each community, including day camps, Bible studies, food pantries, leadership development, and outreach programs. We are grateful for the significant growth of AMA, but there is still much work to be done as more than 200 villages lack AMA presence! Your offering on November 30th will go toward keeping workers in villages and ensuring that Adventist parsonages and churches remain open.
