Welcome to the

Rocky Mountain Conference

of the United Church of Christ

Upcoming Training Sessions

In the Rocky Mountain Conference, we recognize that learning is a responsibility that continues throughout a minister’s lifetime. This occurs through education, experience, and exposure. Lifelong Learning is the umbrella term the Committee on Ministry uses to define this process, and it includes Antiracism Training, Healthy Ministry Relationships (Boundary) Training, and Continued Learning. The Supportive Oversight Committee of the Committee on Ministry is responsible for defining requirements and supporting Authorized Ministers in understanding and completing these requirements. If you have already completed a training, please email your certificate to comregistrar2@rmcucc.org.

If you’re looking to complete any of your required trainings, please explore some of the upcoming sessions and providers listed below.

Upcoming Boundary Training Sessions

Trainings with the New York Conference of the United Church of Christ

Basic BAT is offered in two evening sessions of two hours each, with reading required before each session.  Participants should buy Saying No to Say Yes, by Olsen and Devor, and read chapters 1 & 2 before the first session. Participants will need to be present for the entire training session(s) to receive completion credit.  Timing of breaks and ultimate training duration will be contingent upon number of participants and is at the sole discretion of the facilitator.
