Greetings from the District Advisory Committee!
Thank you for taking part in developing the District and District Superintendent profile. We have now reached the third stage of our District Superintendent search, and you are again invited to participate!
Nominations
The Northeast Oklahoma DS Recommendation form is open for nominations. We will receive nominations until Monday, February 9. These nominations are part of a process that culminates in a ballot with two candidates presented at the District Assembly, who will elect the new District Superintendent (see timeline).
Nominees must be ordained elders in the Church of the Nazarene. They can be from any district and in any current ministry role. The nomination process is open to everyone – even people from other districts whom God may lead to suggest a qualified candidate. Individuals may submit up to three names they would like to nominate by using the link provided in three separate entries.
Please be sure to review the District Superintendent profile for a better understanding of the kind of candidate we are looking for. Again, the nominations deadline is February 9.
Prayer
Gracious and faithful God,
As we prepare to submit names for consideration for the role of District Superintendent, we pause to seek You. We acknowledge our need for Your wisdom, guidance, and discernment in this important season.
Your Word reminds us in James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” Trusting this promise, we humbly ask that You would grant us wisdom from above—wisdom that is pure, peace-loving, considerate, and full of mercy.
Quiet our own preferences and assumptions, and align our hearts with Your will. Help us to listen well to Your Spirit and to the ways You are already at work among us. May the names submitted reflect Your calling, Your timing, and Your purposes for our district.
We entrust this process to You, confident that You are faithful to lead us. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT ELECTION: This post is part of an ongoing series in preparation for our District Superintendent Election at the upcoming District Assembly (June 5-6, 2026). For more information, please go to https://neokdistrict.org/ds-search .
