Ministerial Leadership Information (MLI)

The Ministerial Leadership Information (MLI) form is a confidential personnel document of Mennonite Church Canada and Mennonite Church USA with  relevant resume material. These documents are shared with MC USA conference offices or MC Canada regional church offices for use in pastoral search or credential processes. The final MLI file includes:

• the MLI form completed by a prospective pastor
• a reference summary from the four references named in the MLI form
• a “clear” background report

 To begin the MLI process for a ministry position or credential tell us about yourself with this form.
