Ministry Personnel Gatherings – EOORC Survey EOORC Ministry Personnel Gatherings With the forming of the Region, monthly Presbytery meetings became a thing of the past. Many of us have felt their loss acutely, especially the fellowship time with colleagues. Others have missed the worship and others the educational components. Part of EOORC’s strategic plan involves ministry leadership development and support. We understand that there are many stages to a ministry career and we want to be able to tailor our event planning based on ministry stage. Your answers to this preliminary survey will help us to determine what type of events might be needed. If you have any specific ideas or requests for leadership events in the coming year, please share them with us in the comments section.
