Annual Assessment of Clergy Leadership

The clergy assessment process “Understanding our Ministry Together,” to be used by clergy and staff parish relations (SPR) committees, was updated in 2006. The new process was mailed to all clergy and SPR committee chairpersons Aug. 25, 2006.  For 2009 we are utilizing the same tools, all of which are accessible on this website and are listed below.
