Use the toolbox to complete:
Pastor’s Short Written Report
Memorial Roll / Deceased Church Members form- local church members who passed in the last year. This form is submitted for recognition at district assembly only and is not a submission for the NMI Memorial Roll.
Request for Continuing Staff Associates form – each year, Associate Pastors in local churches must be approved in advance by the District Superintendent
ALERT: Each Toolbox form should be filled out all at one time, at one session; it will not save your work if you leave in the middle (Sorry about that- will re-format soon)

Key Point: Please input your church’s annual income on FTM at the ‘Church Income’ tab (the little pencil icon) as soon as possible after April 30.
