Good Standing

To be a member of the Southeast Conference ministerium credentialed clergy must be in good standing. To maintain good standing, a credentialed Covenant minister must do the following:

  1. Pay annual dues to the treasurer of the conference in which the minister serves. To verify your ‘good standing’ status in terms of ministerium dues clergy should contact their conference ministerium treasurer. Military Chaplains should contact the Covenant Denomination’s Ministerium Executive Committee treasurer and missionaries should contact Serve Globally administration.

    • Hardship Grace - If you need a one year waiver for your conference and national dues, please put your request in writing to our conference ministerium president, Rev. Dr. Marc Putnam and a separate written request to our national ministerium president, Rev. Harvey Drake. The waiver is for one year and you need to request it from both your conference and national presidents.

  2. Complete a current profile on CovConnect. The profile should be updated every 3 years in order to qualify as “current.”

  3. Complete the Vocational Growth Tool (VGT) each year. The VGT is found under the resources tab within CovConnect.

  4. Maintain regular healthy connections with ECC ministerial colleagues. This can be achieved by attending conference and denominational annual meetings, conference and denominational retreats, regular gathering with clergy colleagues in conference networks in person, via phone or Zoom conversations.
