Residency in Ministry

Residency in Ministry (RIM) is a program for probationary members of the Rocky Mountain Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.  It is sponsored by the Board of Ordained Ministry and is held 3 times per year at a suitable retreat location.

Attendance for three consecutive years is required for full membership and ordination as an elder or deacon. Members are expected to be present for the entire event. Events are scheduled each year for the first Monday and Tuesday of August; the first Monday and Tuesday of October; and the first Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of March (in conjunction with the March BOM meeting).
