Attention all clergy and church leaders! The first of three Ethical Boundary Training sessions for 2023 is fast approaching (March 21 at FCC Great Bend).
Besides the March 21 training session, there are two other opportunities throughout the year: Saturday, May 20 at the Disciples Center at Tawakoni, and Tuesday, Oct. 20, Topeka First Christian Church. All training begins at 10 a.m. and lasts until 3:30 p.m. with lunch provided.
Clergy:
if you have not taken boundaries training since 2020, you need to do so this year to meet requirements for standing. Contact Juli Reed in the Clergy Care Office, Great Bend, if you are unsure when your last training was.
Church leaders:
if you have ever wondered about the standards of ethical behavior we expect of our ministers, please join your pastor for this one-day training session.
In addition to going over the Ministerial Code of Conduct, we will also look at another document, Ethical Guideline for Congregations, that sets expectations for how we hope church members will treat each other and their pastors in the life of the congregation.
The cost of this training is $35 for clergy and $10 for congregational leaders. Registration closes one week prior to the start of each session, to allow us to plan for your arrival. Late registrations will only be accepted by phone and at the event organizer’s discretion.
