CHARGE CONFERENCE REPORTFORPASTOR'S YEARLY CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM2015-2016The 2012 Book of Discipline, paragraph 351.5 requires each pastor report their programs of continuing education, formation, and spiritual growth for the past year and plans for the years to come to their charge conference. The purpose of continuing education is not to improve one's expertise in an existing area, but to strengthen and enhance skills that will improve our effectiveness for ministry. Therefore, some continuing education will have credit given and some will not.
