Rostered Minister Forms and Reports
This page provides access to a variety of forms and reports for rostered ministers. For questions about anything on this page, please contact Pastor Mitch Phillips, Assistant to the Bishop for Leadership (mphillips@neos-elca.org).
Annual Report to the Bishop
Every year rostered ministers are required to report to the bishop on their ministry. Please use the following links to make your report. Please note that there are two forms. One for those rostered ministers who are completely retired and those who are serving a congregation, on leave from call, or on disability. This is due to the bishop by Feb 28, 2023.
Request for Reimbursement
In order for a reimbursement to be authorized, the rostered minister must submit a report of the session and the provider must submit a request for reimbursement.
Departure from Call
When a rostered minister departs a call for reasons other than to accept another call or for retirement, they need to inform the synod office of their desired status. They can request to be removed from the roster or to be placed “on leave from call.”
Interim Ministry
Interim ministers are expected to submit a monthly report of their ministry. The Interim Ministry Covenant is typically for a period of six or twelve months and must be renewed/updated after that term.
Covenant for Departing Pastors
When a pastor resigns their call to a congregation, the authority for their pastoral ministry expires along with the call. It is imperative that departing pastors and congregation councils communicate the expectations to the congregation. This document contains a covenant that is to be signed before the pastor departs and includes sample communication to the congregation.
