The orientation shall be held in each annual conference and is the responsibility of the conference Board of Ordained Ministry. 2. Collegiality in ministry and commonalities and distinctions among the categories of ministry (deacon\, elder\, local pastor) will be emphasized to facilitate understanding and appreciation of the gifts contributed through team ministry\, and the practice of set-apart ministry within the United Methodist connection will be articulated. 3. Guidelines will be made available from the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. \nRegister Here\nQuestions please contact:\nRev. Brian Belting\, Board of Ordained Ministry Vocational Discernment Coordinator (vdc@bom.calpacumc.org) or\nCathy Wilson\, Associate Director of Lay and Clergy Credentialing and Development (cwilson@calpacumc.org).
