International Ministry Exchanges


Would you like to minister in another country?  Ministers of the Presbyterian Church are able to take part in ministry exchanges with churches of the Reformed and United traditions in a range of countries. 

Exchanges are usually for three months and involve the exchange of ministry responsibilities, housing and vehicle (your stipend is still paid by your home parish).  Ministry exchanges can provide an invaluable experience for both the ministers and the congregations involved.
