• This Association is the same where the local church in which the candidate is a member holds its standing in the United Church of Christ.

More information can be obtained by contacting the minister of a local United Church of Christ congregation.

If you are already ordained in another denomination and wish to become United Church of Christ, you would contact the Association where you currently reside (the Association contact can be made through the minister of a local United Church of Christ congregation) and seek Privilege of Call.
