Deadline for completing church and pastor profiles. These forms should be reviewed and updated annually by all church SPR-Committees and all Clergy in the Florida Conference. Pastors having January consultations with their district superintendent should insure that their church and pastor profiles are completed one week prior to their scheduled consultation. All other clergy should review and update these forms annually during the time frame allowed, Dec. 1 to Jan. 22.
Though you may not anticipate a move, it is important that both the pastor profile and church profile be current and up to date at the appointment-making session of the cabinet. It should be an honest reflection of the pastoral ministry and the profile of the church.
Church Profile - should be reviewed and updated annually.
All church SPR-Committees must complete online annually and may begin work on this in December. The Church Profile deadline requires it to be completed online no later than one week prior to the pastor’s DS Consultation if they are having one. The final date to update the Church Profile is Jan. 22.
