The Supervisor's Cabinet
The District Missionary Unit — extending the Jurisdictional Supervisor's leadership across every district.
Role of the District Missionary
The District Missionary must have come through the ranks as a Licensed Evangelist Missionary, recommended by the District Superintendent, appointed by the Jurisdictional Supervisor, and approved by the Jurisdictional Bishop. She is the leader of women on the District Level — the extension of the Jurisdictional Supervisor — and gives close attention to women's ministry.
She is the first person in the Jurisdictional Supervisor's cabinet, working closely with the Supervisor and communicating the program and vision of the Supervisor to the members of the District.
The District Missionary should be an organizer and a peacemaker with concern for the program of the total church, and must visit churches in her District at least twice per year.
Licensing & Credentials
Transferring COGIC Female Credential Holders
Missionaries transferring from another COGIC jurisdiction must make official Transfer of Church/Jurisdiction on ARC, then submit a picture copy along with a copy of her Missionary License and current credential card to SupvGLT@WSJWomen.org. After verification, the Supervisor will authorize documentation onto the Washington State Jurisdiction Missionary Roster.
Licensing of Female Holders of Other Credentials
A refresher of COGIC doctrine, procedures, and administration is required. Follow the Directives for Recommending a Candidate for Licensing — with 6 months at the present home church under pastoral observation in place of the 2-year observation.
