Next Steps for the Nominating Committee
District Family,
Over the course of the last month, we have received over 20 nomination responses for our next District Superintendent. Thank you for engaging this process thoughtfully and prayerfully. The nomination window is now closed.
The names you submitted, along with those proposed by the Nominating Committee, have allowed us to develop a strong list of potential candidates. This list has been submitted to the National Office for review and vetting. Once their review is complete, our committee will contact each nominee to inform them of their nomination and inquire about their willingness to become a candidate. Our hope is complete this step by the end of the month, at which point the search will move into the next stage of candidate review and consideration.
We will do our best to continue to keep you informed as the process allows. Please continue to pray regularly for the committee and for God’s guidance throughout this process.
On behalf of the entire Nominating Committee,
Adam Eshbaugh, Chairman
*Please note: The National Office has requested that individuals do NOT notify those they’ve nominated.

Update on District Superintendent
Search Process
District Family,
Next year, we will be electing a new District Superintendent. To that end, DEXCOM has appointed a Nominating Committee which, among other responsibilities, is tasked with conducting an exhaustive search for a viable candidate to serve as our next District Superintendent. This process will culminate in an election at our District Business Conference on September 22, 2026, at Immanuel Church in Mechanicsburg.
The Nominating Committee—consisting of the following members from across our district—has already begun meeting and praying together:
Adam Eshbaugh, chair - Hope Alliance Church, Bethlehem
Dan Min, vice-chair - State College Alliance Church, State College
Mike Carletti, secretary - Mosaic Alliance Church, York
Kevin Cornish - Harrison Valley Alliance Church, Harrison Valley
Paul Fuller - Citylight Church, Philadelphia
Xavier Godoy - El Camino, Chambersburg
Christine Prough - Pine Glen Alliance Church, Lewistown
Nithin Thompson - City Alliance Church, Williamsport
In the coming weeks, you will have the opportunity to submit nominations for District Superintendent. For now, however, we are writing to ask you to join us in committing to regular, concerted prayer. Pray for the Nominating Committee—that we would walk in wisdom, discernment, unity and a clear leading of the Holy Spirit. Pray also for the search process itself, that it will be effective, fruitful and bring great glory to God.
Our aim is to present a candidate to you by mid-summer who is uniquely suited to lead our district in this season. In coordination with DEXCOM, we have prepared a District Superintendent profile. Your input through the district-wide survey and conversation at District Business Conference was invaluable in helping bring clarity and precision to this document. We believe it accurately reflects the qualities and experience needed in our next superintendent. Please use it as a guide to your prayers—for our committee, and for the emergence of quality candidates for this important role.
Thank you for your faithful prayers for our district and those engaged in this process. We will be in touch soon and look forward to seeking God’s will together.
On behalf of the entire Nominating Committee,
Adam Eshbaugh, Chairman
