A Message to All Eligible Voters

Early voting for the Board By-Election is now open.

Eligible voters should watch their inbox for their unique voting token, which is required to access the ballot. Each member will receive one voting token and can cast their vote only once. Once a ballot has been submitted, it cannot be changed or resubmitted.

Members may vote for ALL candidates on the ballot or fewer. Your Vote, your choice!

To be elected, a candidate must receive at least 50% of the votes cast. The election seeks to fill at least three (3) Board vacancies.

If you need help with the voting process, Electoral Committee members will be available immediately after service on Sunday, October 25.

May God grant wisdom and discernment as members participate in this important process.

Blessings,

Electoral Committee

Virtual Home Groups:

Connect 🔹 Grow 🔹 Thrive

At Rhema Christian Ministries, Virtual Home Groups (VHGs) are central to how we build community, grow in God's Word, and care for one another.

On the first Wednesday of each month, the entire VHG community comes together for a teaching session led by Pastor Orim Meikle. These group meetings offer opportunities to discuss, apply, and grow deeper in the month's teaching alongside fellow believers.

Whether you're new to Rhema or have been with us for years, VHGs provide a place where faith grows, friendships deepen, and lives are strengthened through authentic Christian community.
