Pastoral Leadership Committee
The Pastoral Leadership Committee is charged with developing and maintaining high quality pastoral leadership for Central Plains congregations. PLC works closely with the Conference Minister for Ministerial Leadership. Together we coordinate a network of volunteers who offer guidance to congregations involved with pastor searches; pastor/congregation evaluations; conflict mediation needs; and clergy misconduct situations. PLC provides encouragement and support for pastoral leaders, offering them opportunities for personal and professional development. PLC also supports the training of elders, deacons and other lay leaders. Among the tasks of PLC are planning the Annual Leaders Retreat for pastors, chaplains and spouses; granting scholarships for leadership development; and overseeing the credentialing process for leaders within Central Plains Conference.
