Please provide your OPG summary for the past 3 years. We encourage Ministers/Chaplains to maintain a lifelong commitment to learning and growth. The purpose of OPG is to encourage a high standard in character and ministry competence. The OPG process is intended to encourage Ministers/Chaplains to take opportunities to be emotionally refreshed, mentally stretched, spiritually renewed and re-equipped.
