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 Post-Authorization (Post-Auth) Team 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 com-chair@rmcucc.org. To learn more about Standing Requirements, please read this document.
If you’re looking to complete any of your required trainings, please explore some of the upcoming sessions and providers listed below.
