CCMA Standing Renewal Report Form

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Mid-America
Standing Renewal
Report Form

Ministers with Standing reserve the privilege to call upon the Christian Church for Services, Support, References, Relocation Assistance, Denominational Endorsement, and Scholarship Aid. In keeping with the design of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ (DOC), each Region annually reviews and certifies the Standing for all Clergy. Ministers with Standing acknowledged by the Mid-America Region will have their name published in the National DOC Yearbook as well as the Mid-America Regional Directory.

This Standing Renewal Report Form allows you to submit an official request for annual renewal of Standing as a Commissioned or an Ordained Minister in the Mid-America Region. Even if the Regional Office may already have on file some of the information requested, completion of this Form ensures that your clergy records remain current and accurate.
- If you are an Ordained "Retired-Inactive" Minister, please instead complete the Retired-Inactive Clergy Information Form.
- Should you prefer a printed form be mailed to you with a self-addressed and stamped return envelope, please contact your Ministry Associate in the Springfield Regional Office by phone at (417) 865-0850 or by email at sgf@ccmadisicples.org.
Should you have any questions, please contact your Ministry Associate in the Springfield Regional Office at sgf@ccmadisicples.org. Thank you for all you do in Ministry!
