MINISTERIAL VOCATION
The Ministerial Vocation Committee (MVC) is concerned with the initial and ongoing education and training of ministers and in the pastoral care of ministers and their families. The MVC resources churches and pastors in the preparation, calling, development, and care of ministers, and also resources the Ministerial and Candidates Committees of the Presbyteries and oversees the ordination testing process.
PROCEDURE MANUAL
Revised in 2021, the Procedure Manual for Ministerial and Candidates Committees brings together Scriptural principles, the EPC Book of Order, the legislative actions of the General Assembly, and standard practices relating to ministry. It was designed especially for Presbytery ministerial and candidates committees, church search committees, ministers seeking a call, and Candidates under Care. The Manual also contains links to forms commonly used by Presbytery committees, and is a valuable reference tool for every EPC minister and church office.
