As part of the Southwest Conference’s ongoing commitment to accountability and shared ministry, I recently emailed all SWC church office staff requesting a copy of the clergy Call Agreement and Covenant Agreement. I encourage you to do so if you have not yet submitted yours. Beloved Church, ensuring these agreements are in place strengthens our covenantal bonds and reaffirms our commitment to faithful ministry in the UCC.

Understanding the distinction between Covenant Agreements and Call Agreements is essential to upholding the integrity of our shared ministry.
