The following is the Clergy Continuing Education and Formation Committee’s (CCEF) policy regarding clergy continuing education and formation events. All listed events are suggestions only, and we stress that the taking of education events are to be part of the three way covenant between clergy, Pastor/Parish Relations Committee, and District Superintendent.  It is within this covenantal context, that CEU events are to be identified, recommended, and accounted for.  CEU credit is confirmed by one’s District Superintendent, in consultation with the clergyperson.

 The Clergy Continuing Education and Formation Committee (CCEF) event website, currently managed by the staff of Olmsted Manor, is an information resource and includes events that are:

 a) WPACUMC mandated clergy seminars
 b) Continuing Formation seminars offered by accredited College, University, or Seminary
 c) Nationally recognized ministries (i.e. Saddleback, Alban Institute, Willow Creek, Billy Graham)
 d) UM Denominational offerings
 e)  Events sponsored by WPAUMC Agencies (i.e. sponsored workshops, retreats, academies)
 f) Retreats/formation events sponsored by Olmsted Manor and other WPAUMC Camp/Retreat Centers which offer CEUs
 g) Events by nationally accredited professional organizations which cross-over for clergy (i.e.  grief work, family dynamics, counseling)

 h) Workshops, seminars, teaching events that have received a written recommendation from a District Superintendent.  These events will then be reviewed and confirmed by the Clergy Continuing Education and Formation Committee (CCEF) before being posted.
