Cabinet Policies
Through the years, the Virginia Conference Cabinet has been establishing and perfecting these policies in response to various issues as they arise. This site also provides helpful tools and directives from both Ministerial Services and The Leadership Development Institute.
You are welcome to read and copy any of these documents as they provide insight to your needs. They will be constantly updated and additional policies provided as needed.
If you find corrections necessary, please contact the Assistant to the Bishop, or Director of Ministerial Services for assistance.
