PDP - Professional Development Plan

The PDP plan provides an opportunity for pastors to reflect and set goals regarding their growth in ministry and life. A PDP plan is required in order for pastors to be accredited with the BUV. The PDP Guidelines provide information about how the process operates and what is involved.
