The Register of Nationally Accredited Ministers comprises five categories of minister:
Category 1 comprises those ministers who are in pastoral charge of a Baptist Church, who serve in Local Ecumenical Partnerships, who work for BMS World Mission, who work as chaplains, or in Baptist Union, Association or College appointments.
Category 2 - Youth Specialist Ministers.
Category 3 - Evangelists.
Category 4 - those seconded to other ministries.
Category 5 - those ministers who have retired from stipendiary ministry in any of the other categories, but who remain Baptist Ministers in calling and by ordination.
All those enrolled onto the Register are expected to live and serve in covenant relationship with the Baptist Union, its Churches and Associations, and to do so in ways which honour their calling and are in accord with the disciplinary ideals of their ministry. The processes of ministerial recognition are managed through the work of the Ministerial Recognition Committee and it administers the list of those ministers accredited by the Baptist Union.
Details of all ministers on the Register of Covenanted Persons Accredited for Ministry, details of churches and Associations can be found in the BUGB Directory.
