Boundary Training
Authorized and Lay Ministers in the Pacific Northwest Conference shall have a Committee on Ministry approved Boundary Training once every three years in order to maintain their standing. The Initial Boundary Training is to be an orientation course, more comprehensive than the follow up Boundary Trainings. Most Boundary Trainings are available by Zoom. The orientation training should be interactive, rather than self-directed.
Trainings approved by the Committee on Ministry include:
Convergence Use code PNWUCC if you register for a discount with this link: https://convergencecolab.org/
Faith Trust

All other initial trainings must have prior approval by the COM before registering.
Following Boundary Trainings, after the initial training, are required every three years. Trainings approved by the Committee on Ministry include:
MESA (Ministerial Excellence, Support and Authorization a national team of the UCC) trainings for Retired Minsters and Specialized Ministers, offered occasionally throughout the year at no cost. (Dates are in the PNC Weekly eNews)
Boundary Training from other United Church of Christ Conferences.
There may be other boundary training of interest to you. These must be approved by the Committee on Ministry prior to registering.
Upon completion of the Boundary Training, please send your Certificate of Completion to the PNC administrator, Arlene Hobson, arlene@pnc.org to be recorded and placed in your ministerial file.
