Welcome to the work of the Committee on Ministry!
The Committee on Ministry works toward the health of congregations and pastors, supporting both in times of pastoral transition, conflict and growth. We work with churches seeking a new pastor, saying goodbye to a pastor, or seeking an interim or temporary pastor. We help with retirements, validated ministries, and with questions about compensation and job descriptions.
Our COM work is divided into three subcommittees:
We seek to be faithful to our Presbyterian principles and Book of Order, and also to use our creativity, empathy and compassion to serve congregations, congregational leaders and pastors.
