The Nominating Committee Report - South England Conference 64th Session
One of the main items of business of the 64th Session was the election of officers for the next quadrennium. The Nominating Committee, which fulfils this task, is usually the first committee to be selected by the Recommendations Committee.
On Friday, 8 September, the second day of the Session, the committee announced the election of a new President, Dr Kirk Thomas, to lead the South England Conference (SEC), the largest Conference within the British Union Conference (BUC).
Pastor Thomas has been the Director of Evangelism and Personal Ministries at the BUC since 2016. He previously served at the SEC as Personal Ministries and Sabbath School Director.
He is an ordained minister with over twenty-eight years of ministerial experience. He holds degrees from the University of Southern Caribbean, Inter-American Theological Seminary and Andrews University.
Thomas says he lives to empower and mentor people for the Kingdom of God. He has been married to Carol, a radiographer, for over twenty-seven years, and they have four lovely children – Fonah, Tivonah, Daniel and Kassanah.
The second partial report of the Nominating Committee was for the post of Executive Secretary, which went to Pastor Nathan Stickland. He serves as Area 7 Coordinator and pastor for St Albans and Hemel Hempstead churches.
