Igniting Lives With Jesus Christ To Make A Difference

STAFF PARISH RELATIONS COMMITTEE

(SPRC)

 The Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) is the human resources team that works to integrate the lay and clergy leaders' focus on the mission of the Church - to make disciples of Jesus Christ.  The SPRC manages the relationships between the pastor(s), staff and congregation by working within the congregation to interpret the Severna Park United Methodist Church's (SPUMC) mission and vision with individuals and groups - including the pastor(s), lay staff, the congregation (individuals and collective), the community outside the church, the District Superintendent, and the United Methodist Connectional Church.

 The SPRC provides a means of communication among the pastor(s), staff and congregation about the goals and efforts of the ministry; confers about staff needs, ministry direction and reviews their effectiveness, consults with the District Superintendent, supports continuing education for the staff, and helps identify members whom God may call for the ordained ministry.  The committee consists of nine members elected to three year terms each, in three classes, to permit carryover of members and provide continuity.  One member must be a young adult, and the lay leader and lay member of the annual conference are also members.
