2026 Turramurra Uniting Church Council Elections
ONLINE VOTING OPEN NOW
- Church Council Elections will be held online from Tuesday 10th June through to Sunday 15th June, 2025 (paper voting after each Sunday service on 15/6).
The Turramurra Uniting Church Council is the main decision making body of our church and is comprised of up to 16 members nominated and affirmed by the congregation, each serving a two year term. On Church Council there are four members: Nigel Clarke, Wayne Prowse, Lavier Laurino and Will Giacometti who are half way through their term and therefore not up for re-election this year.
Nine nominations have been received for election to Church Council; five existing Church Council members seeking a further 2 year term; Bill Bolton, Max Day, Heather Koroknay, Robin Ruys and Ean van Vuuren and four ‘new’ nomination – Jonty Cornford, Jane Ford, Esther Hamilton and James Watson.

As the number of nominations will not take council over the maximum size of 16, we will elect people onto church council through affirmation – where a majority of the congregation (more than 75%) “affirms” that this person should be on council. What we are asking you to do is to consider the names above and ask yourself 3 questions:
1. Is this person a faithful follower of Jesus who is suitable to be appointed to this key leadership position as a Church Councillor?
2. Does this person bring suitable gifts, experience and/or wisdom which can be used to strengthen Council and assist the church?
3. Do we discern that God is calling this person to serve as a Church Councillor at this time?
At the election you will be asked to “affirm” each person through a simple yes or no response. The information in this sheet might help you with your discerning.
Church Council Elections will be held online from Tuesday 10th through to Sunday 15th June, 2025 (paper voting after each Sunday service on 15th).
