The North Carolina Conference will host a Transition Seminar for all churches and pastors experiencing changes in ministerial appointments. This year’s Transition Seminar will be on Sunday, May 19, from 3-6 pm at seven locations. Pastors will attend the meeting corresponding to the district where they have their new appointment.
At the Transition Seminar, you will receive information on ending your current appointment well and strategies to begin your new appointment enthusiastically. You will also have the opportunity to meet the S/PPRC members, who will be attending from your new church, and get acquainted with your new Lay Leader, District Superintendent, or Administrative Assistant to the DS (AADS).
Clergy retiring, taking a leave of absence, being appointed to an Extension Ministry, or taking an appointment outside of the NC Conference are not required to attend the Transition Seminar.
The S/PPRC chairperson and another S/PPRC member from each church will attend the Transition Seminar held at the event affiliated with their District.
