Instructions for candidates for the ministry who desire to come under the care of Central Carolina Presbytery.

To come under care you need to:

  1. Fill out an application to be received as a Candidate for Gospel Ministry and email it to the chairman of Candidates Committee.

  2. Go before your session and share your testimony and sense of call to ministry to secure their recommendation. They then email that session recommendation to the chairman of Candidates Committee.
  3. Get two references - preferably 1 from an elder who's seen you teach and the second from someone who's benefited from your teaching. Have those references emailed to the chairman of Candidates Committee.

The Candidates Committee meets on the first Wednesday of January, April, July, and October in the Board Room of Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte from 10 to 3:00. All forms are due to the chairman at least 10 days prior to the meeting. Once the forms have been received the chairman will contact you with your allotted time on the docket and you will be invited to appear before the committee to give your testimony and sense of call to the ministry.

The committee will then vote on whether to recommend that you be received as a Candidate of the Central Carolina Presbytery and you will be assigned a committee representative. Upon their recommendation you may appear on the floor of the Presbytery to give your testimony and sense of call to the ministry at which time the Presbytery will vote on whether or not to initiate your Candidacy.

If you wish to initiate an internship at the same time you may do so by having a PCA Teaching Elder email the chairman informing him that he is willing to supervise your Presbytery approved Training Program.

The current chairman of the Candidates Committee is:

Pastor Kevin Burrell

(704) 549-8272 ext. 237 office
or (407) 432-1021 cell

For more information, see the PCA Book of Church Order chapters 18 and 19.
