Note to the Pastor: Metro New York District Board of Ministerial Studies requires a student seeking enrollment in the Course of Study to obtain a recommendation from his/her pastor. The information which you supply will help us to counsel students in their vocational pursuits. Also, your recommendation is not complete until you insure that your student has a copy of the Sourcebook for Ministerial Development. Enrollment in the Course of Study is by vote of the Board of Ministerial Studies after a student has completed three courses in the curriculum. Please complete this form and send it personally to: MNSM, 1243 White Hill Rd., Yorktown Heights, NY, 10598. If you have any questions, contact droliver@optonline.net or 914-245-4718.
