All Pastors, CLPs, and Certified Christian Educators have a duty and responsibility to abide by the Presbytery’s Sexual Misconduct Prevention Policy. This includes completing the annual sexual misconduct prevention training provided by the Presbytery. The Committee on Ministry, being responsible for oversight and accountability of pastors, CLPs, and Christian educators who are members of the Presbytery, have adopted the following policy for those church professionals who do not complete the annual training in a timely manner. Any church professional who does not complete the annual sexual misconduct prevention training by the deadline set by the Presbytery will be subject to the following: - The PET office will provide a list of those who are in noncompliance to the Committee on Ministry prior to each meeting following the deadline for completion; - Those who are in noncompliance will be contacted by the General Presbyter and given a specific date for completion; - Each person will be notified that if the training is not completed by the new deadline, the session of the congregation that person serves will be informed of their noncompliance via a letter or email to the Clerk of Session; - If the training is not completed by the new deadline, the Clerk of Session will be informed, as noted above; - Additionally, those church professionals who do not complete the training by the new deadline will be required to meet with the Committee on Ministry and explain the circumstances of the noncompliance.
