Clear Opening Church Profiles

A Clear Opening church is one that will receive a new pastor this year due to the retirement, death, or appointment of their current pastor to another mission field. This year, pastors were invited to review these openings and apply for an appointment to one or more of the congregation using the application form in the sidebar.  The Clear Openings are for full-time appointments. They are used as an additional resource in the traditional appointment process.

The clear opening process for appointments in the Balitimore-Washington and Peninsula-Delaware Area will be updated on Mondays, beginning Dec. 2.  The profiles and form to apply for clear openings will be made live then. Appointments that are made begin July 1, 2025.
