Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, By now you have already completed many of your first steps toward becoming a Local Pastor in The United Methodist Church. You have began your candidacy process and been recommended by your District Committee on Ministry (DCOM). You are now ready to take another important step in that process. Enrolling in and completing the Holston Conference’s 2021 Local Pastor Licensing School (LPLS). This is an important preparation experience for licensure as a Local Pastor, contingent upon your receiving an appointment to a local church.

The purpose of the LPLS is to offer basic skills that you will need in the local church. These basic skills are public worship, pastoral care for spiritual formation, the organization of the local church for nurture and mission, and educational ministries.

Upon your registration, you will begin receiving additional information about the school and homework assignments for the first weekend of the school.

It is our belief that the resources and training you experience at LPLS will be an important component for your future ministry.

2021 LPLS is intended to be an exciting, challenging and meaningful learning opportunity designed to assist you in preparation for ministry to the Lord’s people. As you plan and prepare for it, pray and study accordingly – that God’s will be done.
