By-Election Update:

Nomination & Voter Register NOW Open

At the recent AGM, vacancies remained on the Board that were not filled through the election process. To ensure the Board is fully constituted and can continue its governance responsibilities, we will hold a by-election on October 28, 2026.

The Board has entrusted the Electoral Committee to administer this process using the same framework and standards that guided the AGM election.



✪ Voter Registration & Verification ✪



If you were already registered and approved to vote during the AGM election process, you do not need to register again. Your registration remains valid for the by-election, and you will be eligible to receive a ballot. 

Voter registration is intended only for members who did not previously register during the AGM election process. 

Please note that all registrations are subject to verification, and only eligible members successfully verified will receive a ballot.

Voter Registration Deadline: October 23, 2026

• October 7: Approved candidates published

Members are encouraged to prayerfully consider how they may participate in this important process, whether through service, voting, or prayerful support. We will share additional information about candidates and voting procedures as the process progresses.

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.

 Why Join a VHG?

• Grow deeper in God's Word
• Build meaningful relationships
• Receive spiritual encouragement and care
• Pray and share life with others
• Stay connected to the Rhema family

Ready to Get Connected?

We believe life is better when it's lived in community.

Join a Virtual Home Group today and discover the support, fellowship, and spiritual growth that come from walking together in faith.
