Home Mission Charge

Scope Note: A charge normally fulfilled by a minister, licentiate or a person accredited by the Ministry Development Committee according to its regulations as a home missionary appointed to it by the presbytery.

A presbytery declares a charge to have the status of a home mission charge when it is satisfied that: a) the circumstances of a pastoral or appointment charge have so changed that it can no longer retain that status and the presbytery judges this change likely to be lasting; or b) the change of status is necessary for the charge to receive particular assistance and intervention from the Ministry Development Committee to strengthen and renew it; or c) it would be in the best interests of the charge.
