Letter from Dr. Crowder re: 2027 Clergy Standing Requirements During the Transition to the Living Waters Region

Dear Colleagues, As we prepare to enter a new chapter in the life of our Region, I want to provide clarity regarding clergy standing requirements for 2027.

This transition represents more than a change in name or geographic configuration. We are bringing together congregations, clergy, governance structures, policies, procedures, and administrative practices from two regions into one regional structure....
