Upcoming Trainings for Standing Requirements


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.

  • February 3rd, 2025: MESA will offer a special Boundary Training for Ministers in Specialized Settings on Monday, February 3, 2025, from 6:00 – 9:00pm ET. This training, hosted by Revs. Tara Barber and Anissa Glaser-Bacon, is open to ministers serving in specialized settings throughout the United Church of Christ. Serving in specialized settings requires particular attention to boundaries within the ministry setting and home church that are challenging and different from those serving as local church pastors. This training will focus on matters that relate specifically to issues that these ministers face, providing opportunities for clergy to reflect on best practices and growth in their practice of ministry. Registration is here.
