Reporting Continuing Education Units
Ministers are required to complete six (6) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every three (3) years. In addition, those CEUs are to be report annually to the presbytery’s Committee on the Ministry/Preparation and to the Pastoral Development Ministry Team. To assist in this effort, below is a form that can be downloaded and used to report to presbyteries. There is also a link to an online form that can be used for this purpose. Presbytery committees can contact the PDMT office for a report of their ministers.
