MINISTRY PROFILE 2023

A new profile is a helpful reflection on your past and future ministry directions. A fresh profile must be filled out and lodged with PRC and ACOMP in the third year of a first placement, and the fifth year of a subsequent placement. Congregations should note that this does not mean their minister is seeking to leave but is following the process of the Regulations for the benefit of the whole church.

The primary purpose of ACOMP is to initiate and guide the placement of a Minister into a Congregation or other placement.
