- Appointed/Assigned to the Local Church (This year the clergy profile and ministry review are combined so that it is conveniently located in one form. Part 1 will offer some biographical information and questions related to well-being. Part 2 will focus on self-reflection related to your ministry work. Please be prepared to spend about 30 minutes filling out this form.)
- SPRC Ministerial Review Worksheet - PDF (Please print the PDF Worksheet and distribute it to each SPRC member (at least 5 people). Next, collate the data to create an average score for each dimension and offer useful comments. Once this is done, the pastor joins the staff parish where the committee will share their results and the pastor will share her/his reflections. Together the SPRC and pastor will decide what to write for Part 2 of this form. Once all of this is done, the chair can fill out the Final SPRC Ministry Review online form)
- Final SPRC Ministry Review (Submitting this form is the last step of the review process. It is a conglomerate of the individual SPRC member reviews, clergy self-review and the conversation between the clergy and SPRC.)
