Board of Pensions

The Board of Pensions recognizes that pastors do work in isolation from one another and can, therefore, feel disconnected. There are many ways in which the Board can help.

Committee On Ministry

COM provides care and support for Pastors (and Christian Educators,) and facilitates the relations between them and their congregations.
Contact: Rev. Sara McCurdy, Email

Committee on Preparation for Ministry

CPM enlists, oversees, cares and nurtures persons interested in church occupations and their sessions.
Contact: Chuck Wakamoto, Email

Covenant Groups

Pastors meet regularly in small groups for prayer, support and study.
