The Ministerial Department also works to equip and encourage local church elders and leaders with ministry tools to enhance their call to serve their congregations and the larger community.
We offer a full range of church health assessments, from the Feedback Loop process to the Natural Church Development program.
Our Oregon Church Consulting Service features the NCD evaluation as well as Percept Demographic data on community needs and interests.
The Feedback Loop tool includes both church health assessments and pastoral effectiveness evaluations.
Our goal is to develop a systematic process to evaluate both pastors and churches on a regular basis. It is our purpose to foster effective working relationships between pastors and their congregations as members fulfilling their respective calls to ministry.
Prior to speaker scheduling, churches who wish to have an in-Conference speaker take the pulpit, must verify that the potential speaker has been approved and is on the Oregon Conference Approved Speakers List (provided by-request from Ministerial).
Speakers who wish to be added to the Oregon Conference Approved Speakers List must fill out the Speaker Application Form. This process includes a background check and speaking guidelines to ensure consistency, balance, and Gospel-focus from our pulpits. Speakers must complete the application in full and submit it to the Oregon Conference Ministerial Department for processing.
