The Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) is elected annually by the

charge conference. The committee assists the pastor and staff in assessing

their gifts and setting priorities for leadership and service. The committee

also is responsible for generating job descriptions, and hiring for these

positions. The trustees are ultimately responsible for the monitoring of

performance against these job descriptions.  The committee is composed of

not fewer than five, and not more than nine persons.  One of these members

shall be a young adult, and one member may be a youth. Members are elected

for a three year term, and only one person from an immediate family residing

in the same household shall serve on the committee.

The committee must meet at least quarterly, and additionally at the request

of the bishop, the district superintendent, the pastor, any member of the

professional staff, or the chairperson of the committee.
