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 an addition to the traditional appointment process.

The clear opening process in the Balitimore-Washington and Peninsula-Delaware Area begins in December for appointments that will take effect in July 2025.  The form to apply for clear openings will be made live then.
