The Commission on Ministry is a body required by the Canons of the Episcopal Church. It functions as a advisory body to the Bishop in matters related to ministry discernment and formation, for both lay and ordained ministries.

Members of the COM are appointed by the Bishop, with the appointments being confirmed by the Convention at its Annual Meeting in October. The COM consists of four clergy members and four lay members, each serving for a four-year term.

Information pertaining to the work of the COM may be found on the pages about Discernment for Ministry, Licensed Ministries, and the Ordination Process.
