What is Reformed Candidates Supervision and Care (RCSC)?

The Reformed Candidates’ Supervision and Care was the creation of the Ministerial Formation Certification Agency (MFCA) Board of Trustees at its February 2000 meeting. Its purpose is to oversee the “Certificate of Fitness for Ministry” process for RCA candidates who have not completed the process through one of the two RCA seminaries or the Approved Alternate Route (AAR). It is meant to continue the ministry of the Theological Education Agency (TEA) without becoming lost in the many functions and larger responsibilities of the MFCA. It will be housed on the west coast so as not to loose the original concern for the western part of the RCA, which does not have a denominational seminary to serve the churches there.
