Committee on Preparation for Ministry
The purpose of the Committeee on Preparation for Ministry is to help all church members discern and fulfill their Christian vocation and to provide the best possible leadership for the church by assuring that persons who feel called to be ministers of the Word and Sacrament receive the fullest personal and professional preparation for this office.
Our goals are to facilitate the care process for pre-inquirers, inquirers and candidates in the most caring and efficient manner possible, to be sensitive to the many issues confronting persons under care, and to provide continuity of service to members of the committee and those under care.
The committee is responsible for following the designated processes associated with pre-inquirers, inquirers and candidates. The Book of Order of the Presbyterian Church (USA) is the authority under which the Committee on Preparation for Ministry functions. All requirements and procedures of the current Book of Order must be followed in the Inquiry and Candidacy process, (G-14.0300-0406).
