Intent to Retire Form

Since retirement takes a variety of forms, the Ministry and Professional Leadership Staff Group offers the following definition of retirement:

Retired status is available to ministers who wish to indicate that they have completed their careers, although not necessarily their ministries. Normal retirement age is 65. Early retirement may be elected at age 55, or age 50 with the approval of Ministry and Professional Leadership. Disability retirement is available at any time as a result of long-term disability. Ministers may retire and still work professionally, usually in interim ministries or other ministries. Ministers planning to continue full-time ministry in other settings are asked to hold off declaring themselves retired until they more nearly fit the description of "ceasing remunerative work in one's later years."

To be considered retired, the minister must declare his or her intention to retire to Ministry and Professional Leadership.

Please declare your intention to retire by completing the form below.
