The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. ~ Psalm 34:18

Annual Information Review Form
It’s once again time to complete the Annual Information Review Forms! Not only is the completion of the Information Review a requirement to maintain standing as an authorized minister in the United Church of Christ but it also provides our Committees on Ministry, Associations, Conferences, and the National Setting of the UCC with the data needed to maintain complete and accurate records. The form has been completely redesigned this year and should now be able to be completed much more quickly and efficiently.
Forms were to be completed and submitted by March 7th. If we haven’t heard from you by that date, please expect a contact from your Conference Deacon or a member of the TCM staff. We are hoping for as close to 100% participation as we can get this year so we are able to ensure that we have the most up-to-date information for all of our pastors. Thank you for your ongoing ministry on behalf of the Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota Conferences and the entire United Church of Christ.
If you have any questions as you are filling out your form this year, please contact Jane Estrada at jane@ucctcm.org
Follow the link to the right to complete and submit your form.
