Five NCMC Pastors Completes the Spiritual Formation Program
Pastors from the North Central Mindanao Conference successfully completed the Spiritual Formation of Pastor Program held on November 12-14, 2023. This program, a crucial requirement for pastoral ordination, is designed to improve their spiritual lives and advance their ecclesiastical work.
The participants were Pr. James Alferez, Pr. Vincent Baragona, Pr. Renee Lagata, Pr. Gilbert Emberda, and Pr. Joel Ramonal. These individuals gained deeper insights into shepherding their congregations, investing time and effort in strengthening their own spiritual foundations.
The Spiritual Formation of Pastor program also emphasizes a holistic approach to ministry. Pastors engage in reflective practices, immersive study sessions, and communal prayer.
SWPUC-elect Ministerial Secretary Pr. Elvin Salarda highlighted the program's significance, stating that it not only strengthens one's connection with God but also provides invaluable insights into the responsibilities of pastoral leadership.
The NCMC pastors, acknowledging the changing landscape of pastoral ministry, embraced this approach to better serve people.
