For Those Seeking Provisional Membership

Uncategorized Comment Now

As of October 1, we have received from all of our District Committees on Ordained Ministry the names of those people seeking provisional membership. We are in the process of putting together packets of information that we will email to each candidate, as well as sending a hard copy by mail. While you may be working on your material now please be sure to check this very important packet of information as well. If you have any questions contact Linda Bourey at lcbourey@nccumc.org.

New Ordination Process

Uncategorized 4 Comments

Friends:

The North Carolina Conference Board of Ordained Ministry will present its new process (path to ordination) at several locations across the annual conference on August 13, 2009. Ned Hill, Chairperson of the Board, and Tim Russell, Director of Ministerial Relations, will lead the presentations.

The presentations are not mandatory, are open to anyone and will be of particular interest to candidates for ordained ministry (including current provisional members), district committees on ordained ministry and people mentoring candidates for ministry. The presentation will be held at the following locations on Thursday, August 13th:

Harbor UMC in Wilmington (9:30-11:00 a.m.)  

Farmville UMC in the Greenville District (2:00-3:30 p.m.) 

 Benson Memorial UMC in Raleigh (7:00-8:30 p.m.) 

The board believes the new format will be more supportive of individual candidates while also allowing the board to get to know each candidate in a deeper, more personal way.

 Should you have any questions, please contact Tim Russell in the Office of Ministerial Relations.
