Denominational Ecumenical Officers (DEOs)

Each of the seven Christian denominations that make up NWCT has a DEO whose role is to represent their own churches on Church Unity.  They are here to support ecumenical activities and advise on any specific denominational consideration that may arise.  The DEOs meet formally in a committee convened by the County Ecumenical Officer three times a year.  The current DEOs are:
