Chapter 4: Residents in Ministry/Probationary Member Formation

4. Residents in Ministry/Probationary Member Formation
The Discipline mandates that probationary members of the Conference be  “involved in a curriculum that extends theological education…to support the  practice and work of their ministry and to understand covenant ministry in the life  of the Conference….” The Residents in Ministry (RIM) program will assist probationary members to become effective leaders through supervision,  mentoring, covenant groups and continuing theological education. The BOM’s newly-revised RIM program will be introduced to the current probationary members at the 2006 Session of Annual Conference.
