Every Christian is called to follow Christ and to servant ministry. Among the called, are those who are “called and set apart” for vocational ministry as a licensed local pastor, an ordained deacon, or an ordained elder. If you have questions about call or the candidacy process, contact Rev. Dr. Jason Stanley ([email protected]).

For Candidates seeking to Admitted, Certified, or Licensed status:
Please note, your paperwork is due two weeks prior to the schedule date of your interview for any stage.
This is to allow your dCOM time to absorb the material you have submitted and to give them the fullest understanding of you as a candidate.
Scroll down for forms and applications. A good rule of thumb is to complete forms first and then fill out the final application once all paperwork is complete.
When you submit the form for your district to become – Admitted, Certified, or Licensed – it is automatically sent to your dCOM chair and registrar.
There is no harm in following up to ensure they have received it. A list of dCOM officers can be found here: https://doc.vaumc.org/minservices/DCOMOfficersList2023-2024.pdf
