Provisional Member Continuation Process

Paragraph 327 of the 2020/2024 Book of Disciplines requires that annually; the Board of Ordained Ministry shall review and evaluate the relationship of provisional members and make recommendation to the clergy session in full connection regarding their continuance.

As provisional members meet with their clergy mentor, are completing their education, engaging in the Clergy Leadership Academy requirements and are working on their ordination paperwork for submission, during June through August they will receive notice from their Board of Ordained Minsitry designated interview team regarding the date of their continuation interview. The following form is one of the requirements that needs to be submitted before the interview.
