Ministry and Personnel Committees

The Ministry and Personnel Committee of each congregation is responsible for the relationships between employees and the congregation. It is vital for the M & P Committee to recognize and support the work performed and provide advocacy for the office worker if necessary. This includes assessment of work load, evaluation of continuing education and review of salaries and benefits. Should a problem arise in this relationship, each Presbytery has a Pastoral Relations Committee which oversees M & P Committees. Conferences have a Personnel Minister to whom disputes or problems not solved at a lower level may be taken. These groups exist for the express purpose of mediating disputes within the church.
