COM is the “hub” that coordinates oversight of congregations, teaching elders, certified Christian Educators, and commissioned ruling elders. It trains and deploys liaisons for relationships with each of our congregations. Some of the areas it handles are beginning and ending pastoral relationships, responding in times of transition and conflict, validating ministries in non-pastoral positions, and providing for the nurture of those in ministry. COM advises the Leader Team and the Administration Committee as to the needs for staff deployment for service to the congregations to equip their ministries.
