Charge Conference
Charge Conference season is here! Charge Conference is a meeting of the local church that includes every member of the church’s governing body as well as clergy appointed to serve that church. It meets at least once a year, usually in the fall, to review church goals and objectives, elect new church leaders, set clergy salaries, and recommend and continue persons for candidacy. Our district superintendent, Rev. Alicia Coltzer Besser, is looking forward to facilitating the hub and individual conferences that started in late October and will end in November. Below are all of the forms required to complete your Church Conference reports. ***PLEASE USE THESE FORMS, CREATED JUST FOR OUR DISTRICT, AND DO NOT USE THE FORMS ON THE CONFERENCE WEBSITE. Please note that we have worked in our office to simplify and streamline this process and eliminate unnecessary forms.
PLEASE BE SURE TO HAVE ALL OF YOUR CHURCH CONFERENCE FORMS PROPERLY COMPLETED AND SIGNED AND INTO THE DISTRICT OFFICE BY YOUR INDIVIDUAL DUE DATE! Your due date is the WEDNESDAY prior to your Charge Conference.
