Become a URC Minister

The submissions window for applications from ministers who would like to transfer to the United Reformed Church is open!

Applications are welcome from ministers who are members of churches that are either a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, the Council for World Mission, the World Communion of Reformed Churches or the Disciples Ecumenical Consultative Council.

Those who would like to apply can do so by seeking a Certificate of Eligibility which will enable them to be entered on to the Roll of Ministers of the URC.

Applications must be made by 15 September and received by the Ministries department by that date.

Initial interviews will take place in person or via video conferencing in October and further interviews and information sharing in person from 9–10 November at Westminster College in Cambridge.

If you would like to apply, please email the Ministries Office or telephone 020 7916 8649 for an application pack.
