MINISTERIAL STANDING RENEWAL


Due Date: October 15th, 2021 

The information provided is to help you renew your ministerial standing. This is an annual process that has not changed.


This information applies: If you are an ordained or commissioned minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) whose standing is held in the Greater Kansas City Region. (Please let us know if you have transferred your standing to another region or denomination.) Ministerial standing is a professional recognition and affirmation of your Christian ministry.


The Christian Church of Greater Kansas City requires ordained and commissioned ministers to provide an annual report of their professional activities, participation, and on-going training in order to continue to be recognized as ministers in good standing. Among other things, standing in a recognized church allows ministers to claim a housing allowance for tax purposes and to legally solemnize weddings. In many cases, insurance companies for congregations will only indemnify clergy with standing.

This information is provided to help you renew your ministerial standing. Please read this if you are an ordained or commissioned minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) whose standing is held in the Greater Kansas City (GKC) region.


Ministerial standing is a professional recognition and affirmation of your Christian ministry. The Christian Church of Greater Kansas City requires ordained and commissioned ministers to renew their standing each year by providing a report of their professional activities and ongoing training.


An email has also been sent to the church administrators of our GKC congregations to help ensure that this renewal form is updated by individuals that have ministerial standing with the Greater Kansas City Region by October 15th, 2021.
