(3) Duties of a Commissioned Minister. A commissioned minister shall:
(a) Be devoted without reservation to the Christian ministry, following the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the appointment of the district conference in determining and occupying the field of service.
(b) Report annually to the district conference on the appropriate service report form (1402; 3059:4c), and to the district superintendent as required (725:30).
(c) Voluntarily file all credentials with the district superintendent if service in one of the categories of ministry listed in 3250-3335 ceases for four or more consecutive years (3124); this does not apply to those listed under 3370-3371.
