2026 Ministerial Standing Form
In keeping with the Design of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Regions are responsible for reviewing and certifying the Standing of all ordained and commissioned (formerly “licensed”) Disciples clergy each year. When standing is acknowledged by the Region, your name is listed in the official Year Book and Directory of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) for the ensuing year. The Year Book is the primary source used by the IRS for credentialing. Ministers with standing may call upon the Christian Church for services, support, references, relocation assistance, denominational endorsement and scholarship aid.
PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN THE FORM BY DECEMBER 31, 2025 (SENT VIA EMAIL) IN ORDER TO INDICATE YOUR DESIRE TO CONTINUE YOUR STANDING.
(NOTE: BY NOT COMPLETING AND RETURNING THIS FORM, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY INDICATE THAT YOU NO LONGER DESIRE STANDING WITH THE SC REGION!)
