Over the last several months, each candidate has 1) been nominated by members of our congregation, 2) gone through both in-depth theological training that centered on the distinctive of our denomination and practical pastoral training, 3) met with elders and deacons on numerous occasions as part of a ministry discernment process, and 4) been examined in the areas of theology and practical ministry.

After completing this process, the REH elders are confident that each of them ought to be presented as a candidate for consideration by REH members.
