Procedures for Ordinations/Installations
from the Committee on Ministry Manual
A candidate for ordination shall ordinarily be ordained and installed by the Presbytery of Call. An Administrative Commission shall be formed from persons of the candidates' own choosing, which shall be representative of the Presbytery.
The candidate must contact the current Moderator to schedule a date for the Ordination and/or installation service. If the candidate is coming from another Presbytery (the Presbytery of Care), and wishes to be ordained in his/her home church, that may be allowed and arranged. In the above case, the Presbytery of Care must be contacted by the Presbytery of Call and an Administrative Commission for Ordination shall be formed from persons of the candidate's own choosing. Then examination for Ordination must be completed by the Presbytery of Call prior to the scheduling of the Ordination service. A separate Administrative Commission for Installation shall be formed if the candidate is ordained in a different Presbytery.
