Ministry Transitions Team
The Ministry Transitions Team bears commission authority to approve the terms of call and contracts for Pastors, approve the commissions for Commissioned Ruling Elders (CREs), validate other ministries, examine and receive minister members by transfer from other presbyteries for the purpose of accepting valid calls to ministry and/or membership in the Presbytery, approve the terms of dissolution of pastoral calls, and approve internal Presbytery changes in membership category and Authorized Ecclesiastical Occupation Designation.
Members of this team are elected by the Presbytery to 3-year terms of service upon nomination by the Committee on Representation. The LPTSC serves an ex-officio constitutional role.
