Ministerial Association serves pastors and their families across North Pacific Union through local conferences, providing resources that support spiritual growth, strengthen their calling and encourage professional development for effective ministry.

The department provides resources and training to support pastors and conference ministerial teams, including coordination with Andrews University to serve twice yearly as a host site for the Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry program, offered in English and Spanish. An annual ministerial retreat provides training, encouragement and renewal for ministerial leaders, along with ongoing mentoring and professional development for pastors across the territory.
