Continuing Ed Courses: Boundary Training

 

The United Methodist Church is offering Boundary/Ethics training this fall and winter. Boundary training focuses on developing healthy boundaries in ministry and is specific to the role of a clergy person. Of particular concern is the power difference between a person in a ministerial role and a member of his or her congregation, or a person being counseled. Boundary training also includes conversation about personal and professional health and the use of social media.

Boundary 101 is the basic course; Boundary 201 is for those who need a refresher course.

All trainings begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. The cost for lunch and the participant book is $25. You may register for any of these trainings by using this link:
