The Pastor of Leader Care and Development (PLCD) guides the care and development of leaders who are actively serving in ministry in the Presbytery--meaning those who are called, commissioned, and installed to serve as ministers and educators.

 

The PLCD oversees the work of the Shepherding Workings Group which is comprised of teaching elders who serve in a pastoral role to ministry leaders; encourages every standing committee and working group in Presbytery; and identifies retirees, validated ministers, or at-large members to assist when a leader needs someone to preach, teach, lead a meeting, or assist in ways that would provide accompaniment and support.

 

The PCLD organizes mentorship for new clergy and events including a worship celebration for ordinations and installations of leaders, leader development sessions, retired leaders lunches, and colleague groups within the Presbytery.
