The Clergy-Parish Ministry Team (formerly the
Ministry Committee) meets 2 to 4 times a year, with up to two members

Ministry Committees within the conference and seeks to develop
ways to strengthen pastors, churches, pastor parish relations,
and clergy in other than church settings. This will include, but
not be limited to: boundary training, Manual on Ministry training,
abuse prevention training, and response team training; helping
to define pastor and parish expectations and obligations to each
other; developing clergy compensation guidelines; and organizing
