Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Mid-America
Professional Development
Report Form
Continuing Education (CE) is an important part of Ministry with the Christian Church Disciples of Christ (DOC). As a Minister with Standing in the Mid-America Region, this Professional Development Report Form allows you to document an official record for all CE credit hours earned during the previous/current year (the full calendar year prior to when Standing is being renewed).
Should you have any questions about how to calculate CE credit hours, for more information on what Sources or activities count, or to request a printed copy be mailed to you with a self-addressed and stamped return envelope, please contact your Ministry Associate in the Springfield Regional Office by phone at (417) 865-0850 or by email at sgf@ccmadisciples.org.
