The application process for clerical faculties, including transfer status and multi-denominational connection, as well as the process for congregational affiliation, are each undertaken in an intensely personal and case-by-case manner.

 

 An inquiry must first be made in writing and include a full educational curricula vitae, employment resume, congregational or other ministry history and profile, three clergy and/or denominational or local church leadership references. Only after the inquirer's initial portfolio is reviewed and references are consulted will the process continue to the personal interview stage. Approvals can take up to

one year to be finalized.
