Authorized Ministers Information
EXEMPT STANDING
"All authorized ministers are expected to participate in. . .Information Reviews in order to maintain their authorization."
(United Church of Christ Manual on Ministry)
As an authorized minister with Exempt Standing you have agreed to refrain from public roles of ministry, including (but not limited to) providing pulpit supply, circulating a UCC Ministerial Profile, officiating at weddings and funerals, serving on Conference committees, etc. Exempt Standing releases authorized ministers from the requirements to attend annual meeting, maintain current Boundary Training or Continuing Education. Exempt Standing requires application for approval by the Committee on Ministry. This annual Information Review remains a requirement in order to keep contact information up to date and provide an opportunity to share your joys and/or needs.
