Holston Annual Conference
Commissioned and Licensed
Provisional Members are clergy who have completed their educational requirements and serve
a residency (probation) period of at least two years. Provisional members complete written
materials and are interviewed by members of the board of ordained ministry before their election
to provisional (commissioned and licensed) and full connection membership and ordination.
Provisional members may serve in extension ministries. Provisional members do not vote on
matters of clergy relations.
Provisional Elders (PE) serve under a license to preach and have sacramental authority that is
limited to the boundaries of their appointment. They are subject to the itinerant system.
Provisional Deacons (PD) serve under a license to practice the art of ministry. Provisional
deacons are not subject to the itinerant system and must find their own ministry setting. They
may perform weddings. Provisional deacons who work outside the local church must also have
a relationship with a local congregation
Ordained and Licensed
Associate Members (AM) are clergy who have completed educational and other requirements
that are outlined in the Discipline. They are elected to associate membership by members in full
connection at the clergy session. Associate members are subject to the itinerant system. Associate
members cannot vote on matters of clergy relationship. There are two types of associate members:
Associate Members (Deacons) who came in under any Discipline prior to 1996 are ordained
deacons, whose sacramental authority is limited to their appointment. Associate member deacons
may perform marriages outside the bounds of their appointment.
Associate Members (Licensed) with a permanent license (2000 Discipline and forward) have
sacramental authority within the bounds of their appointment. Licensed associate members
cannot perform marriages outside their appointment.
Licensed
Local Pastors (FL/PL/SP) are clergy who serve under license. The license must be renewed
annually. They must complete certain education requirements to maintain their license. Local
pastors have sacramental authority and may perform marriages within the bounds of their
appointment. All local pastors are subject to the itinerant system. Local pastors cannot vote on
matters of clergy relations.
The difference between full-time and part-time local pastors (FL/PL) is not the number of
hours worked but salary. Any licensed local pastor making less than the minimum equitable
compensation for a local pastor classification is considered part-time.
Student Local Pastors (SPL) are clergy serving an appointment and attending college, university
or seminary on a full-time basis.
Ordained Clergy from Other Denominations
There are times when clergy from other denominations serve as pastors of United Methodist
churches. The following designations apply to these persons:
Elders from other Annual Conferences and other Wesleyan denominations are designated OE.
Associate members from other Annual Conferences are designated as OA.
Elders from other UMC conferences may decide to affiliate with a conference where they work
or reside, while keeping their membership in their home conference. These clergy are called
Affiliate Members (AF).
Clergy from non-Wesleyan denominations are designated OF (Other Fellowship).
Clergy in these categories maintain the rites and authority granted by their denomination while
being subject to the rules and order of the United Methodist Church.
Non-Credentialed
Supply Pastors (SY) are men and women who are appointed to serve as pastors of a church
without credentials. They are not clergy and have no sacramental authority. Supply pastors
cannot perform marriages.
