CLERGY ANNUAL REVIEW 2024

Accountability Process Information Review

The purpose of the annual Information Review is to provide current contact and ministry information to Committees on Ministry about each person who holds standing in that Association.

Persons who hold standing are obligated to participate in Information Reviews annually, and Committees on Ministry are obligated to provide annual communication to those with standing about the Information Review and to maintain up-to-date ministerial files and committee records (including ongoing cooperation to ensure regular updates to the UCC Data Hub). 

Based on the information collected (of, at times, the lack of information collected), the annual Information Review may result in a variety of outcomes:

  • Standing affirmed. All basic requirements for continued standing are met, i.e. Boundary Training every three years, participation in review processes. The Committee updates records as appropriate. 
     

  • Changes in ecclesial records. Standing is affirmed; however, the Committee on Ministry notices significant changes from the previous year. The Committee initiates further communication to verify changes in ministry setting or ecclesial standing. The Committee may notice, for example, that a change in information indicates that ministerial standing should be transferred and it may initiate that process. The Committee filed and UCC Data Hub are updated accordingly. 
     

  • More information needed. The use of the Information Review form by the minister does not clearly demonstrate that the requirements for standing are being met, and the Committee on Ministry contacts the minister for additional information. The collection of the annual Information Review Form may be an opportunity for the Committee on Ministry to pray over the forms for the ministers and ministry represented on behalf of the Association.
     

  • Standing suspended or removed. The requirements for standing are not being met for two or more consecutive years. The Committee on Ministry invites conversation and clarification with the minister regarding reasons why the requirements have not been met; a process of support or accountability may be appropriate at this time. Should the person refuse to participate or communicate, the Committee may vote to remove standing.
