Call Process

Calling a Rostered Minister

Calling a deacon or pastor — is one of the most important things a congregation can do. Our synod’s transition process has been created to help find the right leader for the particular mission and ministry to which God has called each congregation.

Contact the Bishop’s Associate for Leadership for information on congregations in our synod that are in transition.

As it is, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you.”
