The disciples mission is to continue the mission and ministry of Jesus through works of teaching, service, multiplication, mercy, and justice making more obedient disciples who will reflect the character and mission of Christ and expanding the boundaries of Christs Kingdom further out into the world. b) The committee shall recommend to the charge conference, at its annual session, the names of people to serve as officers and leaders of designated ministries of the church council required for the work of the church and as the Transitional Book of Doctrines and Discipline of the church requires or as the charge conference deems necessary to its work. 11. Through the Rite of Confirmation, we personally renew the covenant declared at our baptism, witness to Gods work in our lives, affirm our commitment to Christ and His Holy Church, and receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands enabling our lifelong journey toward holiness.

Any clergy members residing beyond the bounds of the conference in which membership is held shall be subject to the procedures of 801-819 and the JPP exercised by the appropriate officers of the conference in which the alleged violation took place, unless the presiding bishops of the two annual conferences and the clergy member subject to the procedures agree that fairness will be better served by having the procedures carried out by the appropriate officers of the annual conference in which he or she is a member, or if the clergy person has elected senior status, where they are currently residing. 3.
