During the regular appointment season (January to May), the cabinet will post a list of open churches under consideration on Wednesdays on the Conference website.

Clergy interested in being considered for one of these churches are to inform the episcopal office exclusively via email at bishopsoffice@unyumc.org by Thursday at 3 p.m. and share why you believe you would serve the congregation well. The appointive cabinet will prayerfully consider these requests during their discernment process.

Clergy communicating their interest in a church actively being considered by the cabinet,

• Must understand that requesting to be considered for an appointment is strictly advisory and does not guarantee you will be considered or appointed to the open church.

• Cannot, in any way, communicate with the members or the pastor of the open church to advocate on their behalf.

• Can be assured that their request to the cabinet will remain confidential, will not affect their current appointment, and will not be shared with your current church’s Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC).

• Clergy from other conferences must notify their resident bishop and district superintendent before inquiring or expressing interest in an open church.
