Rostered Ministers are responsible for reporting all continuing education. It is recommended that you fill out this form at least twice a calendar year, so you don't forget the hours you have earned along the way.
If you need help finding continuing education opportunities, check out our website

HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU NEED EACH YEAR?
Full-time rostered ministers—40 hours annually
Three quarters-time rostered ministers—30 hours annually
Half-time rostered ministers—20 hours annually
Any other part-time, Interim, or Retired (and serving) rostered ministers—the number of CE hours should match your call
HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION EVENT COUNTS—AND FOR HOW MANY HOURS?
Are you taking a class? Count the hours you spend in
class.
Are you in a Book Study? Count the hours you spend in group conversation
about the book.
Are you at a conference? Count the hours you spend in a
lecture/workshop/keynote.
Are you meeting
a colleague for lunch? Meeting your colleagues for coffee? Spending time
sharing together, venting together, praying together? Those are all marvelous
activities to do together! (They are not continuing education hours.)
