The District Assembly 

If the District Board of Ministry recommends you for ordination, the recommendation will be reported to the District Assembly. Once the District Assembly votes to adopt the recommendation of the District Board of Ministry to ordain you, the final decision belongs to the General Superintendent presiding over that Assembly. Most often, the General Superintendent will meet with you and any other ordinands for a short time prior to the ordination service held during the District Assembly. Unless there are unusual circumstances or concerns, the General Superintendent will usually join with the District Board of Ministry and District Assembly in affirming your readiness for ordination. The time of the ordination service will be announced well in advance of the District Assembly.
