Commission on Preparation for Ministry (CPM)

The Commission on Preparation for Ministry (CPM) guides the official preparation process for people seeking to become Ministers of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) or commissioned as Ruling Elders to pastoral ministry (CREs).

We strive to serve as a helpful guide for current and future inquirers and candidates as well as their sessions, congregations, and others who support them.

Meetings

CPM meetings are held virtually. Official correspondence with the CPM, including submission of forms and paperwork, should be directed to the CPM secretary.


Direct questions, updates, concerns and other CPM needs to the CPM Chair,  or an inquirer/candidate’s individual liaison.
