How Delegates Are Chosen
North Pacific Union operates under a representative form of governance. Local church members select leaders to serve at the conference level, and those conferences in turn choose representatives to serve at the union level as delegates. Every five years, NPUC convenes a constituency session to receive reports, conduct church business and elect leadership that will lead and support conferences and represent the local churches and conferences at the General Conference level.
Delegate List
The following list of delegates selected for the 2026 NPUC constituency session has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the existing NPUC bylaws. In the weeks leading to the Aug. 23, 2026 session, replacements may happen within conference delegations due to individual delegates’ inability to serve.
