 Is available to be present at the calling interview;
 Helps to process decisions and possible next steps with the discerner,
including the development of a Covenant of Accountability.

The work of the Calling Cohort continues through both the Discernment and Licensing
processes and concludes when the candidate becomes either Commissioned or
Ordained. (Ministerial Leadership Polity, 2014, pg. 18.)

d. The Calling Cohort agrees to:
 Continue meeting with the Licensed Minister at least quarterly for
conversations of discernment and prayerful support.

In order to assist the candidates and the members of their Calling Cohort to have an
effective and beneficial experience, the following meeting outlines and discussion topics
are presented. These subjects will be part of future interviews as the candidate
proceeds through the calling process. Participants are welcome to adapt their meetings
in order to provide the greatest benefit to the candidate but without neglecting these
guidelines. The same guidelines will be used for each year in the Licensed Minister
category so that the repetition of topics over a period of time will naturally provide
opportunities for the Licensed Minister to demonstrate growth and maturity in ministry.
Licensed Ministers may or may not be interviewed prior to being re-licensed at the
discretion of the District Ministry Commission.
