Authorizing Delegates to the PSWC Annual Meeting

February 2024

Dear Chairperson,

The 2024 Pacific Southwest Conference annual Celebration will be hosted by Bayside in Roseville, CA, on April 25 - 27.

The “Church Gathering” will be Friday 2:05 pm – Saturday 1 pm. On Friday afternoon, all guests will have opportunity to participate in equipping seminars, followed by evening worship with ECC president, Tammy Swanson Draheim, preaching. On Saturday morning at 8:30 am, two seminars will be offered. At 9:45 am, registered church delegates will participate in the 121st PSWC Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting is the highest constituted authority for the conference, its member churches and its institutions. Decisions made at this gathering give direction and momentum to our common ministry. I encourage you to select delegates who will participate in this important time as an expression of our partnership in the gospel. You are also encouraged to pay the expenses of your participating delegates. Others are welcome to participate as general conferees.

The conference constitution states this : Member congregations shall be entitled to representation as following:

• congregations up to 99 members, two delegates;

• congregations with 100 to 224 members, three delegates;

• congregations with 225 to 449 members, four delegates;

• congregations with 450 to 699 members, five delegates;

• congregations with 700 to 999 members, six delegates; plus one delegate for each additional 400 members beyond 1000

Please note that the above numbers are based on official membership rosters, not attendance.

After selecting delegates:

(1) Please ask delegates to register for Celebration and arrange their travel and lodging.

(2) Please complete this form below to authorize delegates. All names of delegates representing your congregation must be listed (ordained and licensed pastors are not automatic delegates and must be listed if serving as a delegate on behalf of their church).

To God be the glory!
