GENERAL INFORMATION:	
“Evaluation is a continuous process for formation in servant ministry and servant leadership that must take place in a spirit of understanding and acceptance. Evaluation serves as a process for clergy to assess their effectiveness in ministry and to discern God’s call to continue in ordained ministry.” From ¶349 of 2016p Book of Discipline.

Please complete one form for each clergy serving your church. The SPRC must review the completed evaluation with the clergyperson and the shared data should match what is submitted in Arena. Be sure all sections are completed, including the congregational profile at the end of the form.  The congregational profile is required even if you are not recommending that your current pastor be appointed to a new church.
