Terms of Call and Compensation
A properly called congregational meeting must be held each year to review an installed pastor’s terms of call. This is to be done regardless if any changes are made in the terms of call. Upon completion of the review process and approval of the terms of call by the congregation the Clerk of Session and each minister must complete, sign and submit the Terms of Call Form to the presbytery. Please use the form below that best corresponds to your pastoral relationship; alternate forms or terms of call will not be accepted. Please note, it is the responsibility of the congregation to report annual terms of call and changes to the Board of Pensions.
