Forms for enrolling an Inquirer
These forms are used by applicants and their committee/commission overseeing preparation for ministry when a decision has been made to recommend the applicant be enrolled by the presbytery as an inquirer.
You may access the PDF version of each form simply by clicking on the specific form designation. Once you begin completing a form, you should use “Save as …” to create a new file (e.g., “NameForm2A.pdf”).
Form 2A “Report of Consultation regarding application”
In addition to formulating its recommendation to the presbytery to enroll the applicant as an inquirer, the committee/commission overseeing preparation for ministry should also establish goals for the first year the new inquirer will be under care. This form records the growth objectives agreed to by the new Inquirer and the committee/commission overseeing preparation for ministry. The completed report is sent to the enrollee, the theological institution, and the sponsoring session.
Form 2B “Covenant Agreement and Inquirer Release”
A signed acknowledgement of the new covenant relationship entered into by the inquirer, the session and the committee/commission overseeing preparation for ministry. The inquirer release sets in motion an understanding that permits the committee/commission overseeing preparation for ministry to secure information necessary to make responsible decisions and recommendations.
