Open Churches & the Search Process

The Kansas Region adheres to the Search & Call process established by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. Anyone wishing to be considered as a candidate for a position in one of our congregations seeking ministerial leadership must first complete the ministerial profile provided by the Office of Search & Call at Disciples Home Missions and complete the background check available through that same department of Disciples Home Missions.
