PRESBYTERY OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND

Committee On Preparation For Ministry

Welcome!

We rejoice in your interest in Ministry!

The Committee on Preparation for Ministry exists to support you as you seek to understand God's call.
This page exists to guide you in finding the resources and understanding the requirements for that pilgrimage.

Preparation for The Ministry of Word and Sacrament is governed by
our Constitution, which includes The Confessions and The Book of Order.
The denomination provides an Advisory Handbook on preparation for ministry to guide you,
along with numerous other resources in its Ministry and Vocations section.
This Presbytery has specific requirements as well.

The Form of Government provisions for preparation for ministry were substantially simplified in 2007-2008. That simplification requires each presbytery to adapt and adopt an "Advisory Handbook." While that work is in progress, this presbytery has adopted "as Presbytery policy all constitutional provisions of the former Chapter 14 in effect prior to the date of June 23, 2007 until such time as the Presbytery may revise them." [Council Minutes, June 7, 2007] A copy of the relevant portion of the old Form of Government is provided here. It is marked to show the new numbering of the portions that remain in the Form of Government. The items marked "left out" are the PSNE provisional Handbook.
