Office of Vocation Transition and Reconfiguration
As of March 2013 the Office of Vocation has transitioned from living as a shared ministry of the Presbyterian Mission Agency and the Office of the General Assembly to be wholly a part of the Office of the General Assembly. This coincides with the reorganization of the Office of the General Assembly. More information about the restructured Office of the General Assembly can be found here.
Along with Constitutional Services and Mid Council Relations, Vocational Ministries (formerly the Office of Vocation) is a part of of the newly formed Mid Council Ministries team in the Office of the General Assembly. As well, several ministries formerly part of the Office of Vocation have moved to other ministry units of the Presbyterian Mission Agency.
