Local Church Forms/Information

Forms, Forms, Forms. It seems that we are awash in forms!

This website may not be able to help with that, but hopefully you will be able to find what you need here!

To simplify and improve the ways that information is shared with the annual conference, this year some of the charge conference forms will be submitted using an on-line, electronic program called FormVites.  This new way of submitting the forms will, we hope, streamline the process at both the local church and district levels.  But we know that it will be a learning process for all of us this first year!

Your pastor will receive an email invitation in late August/early September with a link to the forms due at your charge conference. If you have questions, your district administrative assistant will be able to help you.
