Conversation checklist for District Superintendents:
Below are topics to include in your conversation with the Inquirer, before signing the Candidacy Summit
application.
Their story and sense of calling
Have they read The Christian as Minister and discussed it with their pastor or other church leader?
Share with them a description of the Candidacy Summit (worship, learning, psych assessment) and the
timing of credentialing process. See documents on in the Exploring Ministry Toolbox on the
Resources/Clergy page of the Conference website, including the Candidacy Step-by-Step Guide.
Is there any criminal or legal history that might affect the credentialing process? Having a criminal
record and/or a history of financial difficulty does not necessarily preclude being licensed or ordained,
but it is a topic that should be addressed.
