The Staff/Pastor-Parish
Relations Committee is the administrative unit in a local church
where staff and congregational interests are integrated to
focus on the missions of the church. The committee is
required to meet at least quarterly.
The S/PPRC has the primary responsibility to work with staff
so that the mission of the church is realized. Specific
tasks of the S/PPRC include:
- explaining the nature and function of ministry to the
staff and congregation,
- conferring with the ministry of the congregation and
the staff/pastor about ministry direction,
- assessing the ministry of the congregation and the
staff/pastor at least annually,
- conferring and consulting with the district superintendent,
- supporting the life learning for all staff (continuing
education),and
- identifying and supporting individuals from the congregation
whom God seems to be calling for ordained ministry.
