Queensland Baptists are currently considering a proposal to modify the requirements of ongoing registration of its pastors.   The change proposed would be to replace the requirement to meet with a mentor 6 times a year to meeting with a Professional supervisor 4 times a year and another support person of their choice another 4 times a year.

We have completed our information sessions in our final consultation on the matter of Professional Supervision.  Thank you for all those who attended one of these sessions.

For those who were not able to do so or who want to share the presentations with your leadership, the recordings of these sessions and the resources previously provided can all be accessed through the links below:

• Experiencing Professional Supervision
• Unpacking the Final QB Policy Proposal for Professional Supervision
• Questions and Answers from our session on “Unpacking the Final QB Policy Proposal for Professional Supervision”

The final documents previously circulated can be accessed by the following links:

If you have any questions, feedback or further input you would like considered in our final review, please contact David Elvery, the Director of Pastoral Services.

Subject to any further input received, we will be seeking to identify an opportunity for a special assembly to consider the adoption of this policy proposal and we will advise you as soon as a date is set.
