Annual Report To Presbytery By Teaching Elders In Non Parish Positions

ANNUAL REPORT TO PRESBYTERY BY TEACHING ELDERS IN NON PARISH POSITIONS REQUIRING ANNUAL REVIEW & VALIDATION

(Serving beyond the Jurisdiction of this Church; Other Validated Ministry)

The Constitution requires that Presbytery be responsible and accountable for the teaching elders who are its members. This form helps us fulfill our responsibility as it relates to its non-parish members and the ministries these members conduct.[1], [2]

[1] G-2.0502: “A presbytery shall determine whether a particular work may be helpful to the church in mission and is a call to validated ministry requiring ordination as a teaching elder.”

[2] G-2.0503a: “The presbytery shall review annually the work of all teaching elders engaged in validated ministries outside the congregation.” Presbytery of Los Ranchos requires Boundaries Training certification every three years from all teaching elder members to promote safety for pastors and those they serve. The approved courses can be found at Safegatherings.com. Please register as a New User to begin the training.
