Please Read and Initial each of the following statements:

The Presbytery’s list for Pulpit Supply is intended to provide churches with very short term worship leadership needs. Arrangements which involve more than three weeks of service in any given month will require a more formal contract, which involves formal agreements, background checks, and other considerations. These agreements are determined by the presbytery.

I understand provision #1: *

Serving in a pulpit supply is not intended to be an entry point into the congregation or presbytery for longer service.

I understand provision #2 *

Service as a pulpit supply does not imply a pastoral relationship. Service in additional pastoral tasks is only at the invitation of the Moderator of the Session of the church. Such additional services are funerals, weddings, home or hospital visits, pastoral counseling, etc.

I understand provision #3 *

The Committee on Ministry is charged with responsibility to congregations. This committee is the responsible authority for establishing pastoral service agreements. At any time that a congregation or a person providing Pulpit Supply services wishes to extend that service to longer or a more permanents agreement, the Committee on Ministry must be immediately consulted. This consultation is best initiated through the Moderator of the Session.

I understand provision #4 *
