Pulpit Supply
The Synod Council sets guidelines for pulpit supply rates and the Office of the Bishop provides a list of leaders available for pulpit supply.
Sabbatical
A sabbatical offers an opportunity to get off the treadmill and restore a sense of vision and hope for ministry. It's more than just a chance to recharge your batteries for another year. It can be a life and soul-changing time, a time when perspective and the Holy Spirit can come together. The bishop of the Rocky Mountain Synod strongly encourages congregations to adopt policies allowing for sabbaticals for pastors and deacons. The following guidelines will help you as you do that planning.
