Click the Sign Up Link for the 2022 Clergy Evaluation Meeting Sign Up. All Clergy, with certain exceptions listed above, must schedule an evaluation meeting with Linda. All evaluations will take place either virtually or at the District Office. The Location column on the Sign Up will specify which.

There is a range of dates and times set for evaluations. Please review them quickly to ensure you find a slot that fits in your schedule. If you have a full-time secular job, please contact Becky directly and she will facilitate a time to meet that accommodates your working hours so you do not have to take time off.
