North Central 2023 Charge Conference Information Due Dec 1st
posted on September 06
Charge Conference Season is here! The North Central District wants to make sure you and your church have plenty of time to work on nominations and have all the information needed. Please schedule these meetings soon in order to have all of these forms completed, signed, and in the district by December 1st.
The deadline to submit your forms to the district office is Friday, December 1. Additional forms for the full-time clergy include your 2024 Pastoral Support Addendum (which is not yet available) to be completed following your health insurance enrollment this year.
The forms must be voted on and approved by your leadership team prior to the December 1 deadline. Please submit a copy of the minutes from that meeting with your forms to confirm approval. You can submit your forms via one of the following methods:
- Email - kdryer@moumethodist.org
- Fax - (573)-441-9288
- or Mail - 3601 Amron Ct. Columbia Mo 65202- North Central District
NOTE - The annual Laity Report has changed for this year. It is no longer the Lay Servant Report. Under the Conference's new Lay Ministry guidelines launched this year, it is no longer required for all laity to fill out. Those in process to earning Certified Pulpit Supply (formerly Certified Lay Speaker) and Certified Lay Minister, and those who already have one of those statuses, are asked to fill out the 2023 Laity Annual Report for charge conferences. Please only submit the Laity Report for those seeking approval or renewal in one of those categories.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office for questions on these forms.
Schedule:
