Application forms
The “Form 1: Application for Enrollment as an Inquirer” has now been divided into four separate sections to improve its ease of use.
You may access the PDF version of each form simply by clicking on the specific form designation. Once you begin completing a form, you should use “Save as …” to create a new file (e.g., “NameForm1A.pdf”).
Form 1A “Background Information for Session and Committee on Preparation for Ministry" This form provides basic information regarding the applicant’s background, identity, and interests. It includes a list of personal references.
Form 1B “Questions for Reflection” These questions are to be completed by the applicant as a basis for direct discussion first with the Session of the applicant’s home church and later with the presbytery’s Committee on Preparation for Ministry.
Form 1C “Financial Planning for Theological Education” Using basic information provided by the applicant, this spreadsheet automatically generates a projection of the applicant’s financial resources and needs relative to the required seminary training.
Form 1D “Session Evaluation and Recommendation” This form is completed by the applicant’s Session and forwarded along with the other application forms to the presbytery’s CPM. The form includes questions that may guide the Session’s discussion with the applicant and provide support for its recommendation to the CPM.
