Ministry Preparation Committee

“It is important that those who are to be ordained as teaching elders receive full preparation for their task under the direction of the presbytery. For this purpose, a presbytery shall enter into covenant relationship with those preparing to become teaching elders and with their sessions and congregations.”

(Book of Order G-2.0601)

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

A limited number of funds are available for scholarships each year (i.e. CPE application fees and registration, psychological evaluation, seminary tuition, or ordination exam fees). These must be seminary-related requests. Before applying, discuss your needs with your support person or group at your church and your CPM liaison.
