Committee on Preparation for Ministry

This committee fulfills the responsibility of being in relationship with those who are exploring (Inquiry phase) or pursuing (Candidacy phase) ordination to the ministry of Word and Sacrament [Book of Order (BO) G-14.0400].

The Committee on Preparation for Ministry is responsible for making sure that those who are to be ordained as ministers of the Word and Sacrament receive full preparation for their task. The Presbytery enters into covenant both with those preparing for this ministry, and with the wider church, claiming that persons completing the two phase process of inquiry and candidacy have demonstrated both competence and call (G-3.0307; G-2.06)

Lehigh Presbytery is called by God to nurture its congregations as they grow in every way into communities whose head is Jesus Christ, so that they will go out to make disciples, baptizing and teaching in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to witness, through their actions, to the love of God. cf. Ephesians 4:15 and Matthew 28:18-21
