Election of the Presiding Bishop in 2024
The JNCPB is composed of 20 people. Five bishops were elected by the House of Bishops, and five clergy and five lay people were elected by the House of Deputies (Canon I.2.1.a). Two members between ages 16-21 were appointed by the president of the House of Deputies (Canon I.2.1.a).

The members serve a three-year term that concludes with the close of 81st General Convention in Louisville, Kentucky.
