The District Probationers’ Secretary’s (DPS) duties within the Methodist Church are laid out within the annual Probationer’s Handbook.
Within each district this role is partly shaped by the needs of the probationers and the skills and experiences of the Probationers’ Secretary.
The DPS is responsible for the administration and processes of the District Probationers’ Committee and for obtaining and collating reports on probationers. The DPS plans and convenes the district probationers’ group (meeting bi-monthly), which occupies a vital place as the centre for group support, accountability and the development of theological reflection. The DPS is also responsible for seeing that probationers undertake the appropriate study.
This role is open to any ordained presbyter stationed in the District.
