The central location for candidates and clergy to track progress toward their vocational goals in The United Methodist Church.

Discernment should center on listening to the Holy Spirit, not managing paperwork. Passage [UMC] streamlines the credentialing process by:

  • Clarifying requirements

  • Answering common questions
  • Tracking progress in real time

This allows Annual Conferences, clergy and candidates to focus on what matters most: discerning God’s call.
