The Board of Ordained Ministry, comprised of Elder, Deacons, Associate Members, Local Pastors and Laypersons assumes the primary responsibility for the enlistment and recruitment of ministerial leadership for our churches and other ministry settings by working in consultation with the cabinet and the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry to study and interpret the ordained, licensed, certified and assigned ministerial leadership needs and resources of the annual conference, with the assistance to the inclusive nature of the Church. With the assistance of the local church committee on pastor-parish relations, conference agencies, and every ordained, licensed, certified and assigned leader of the conference, enlist women and men of all races and ethnic origins for ministry as a vocation and guide those persons in the process of education, training and discernment of the most appropriate path for their ministry, recommending colleges and schools of theology listed by the University Senate, licensing school and other approved educational opportunities.
