Clergy Continuing Education

Clergy Continuing Education

We are working to revitalize and reimagine a new curriculum for clergy ongoing formation and will update this page soon.

Monthly Clergy Call

On the second Tuesday of each month at 4:00 p.m., clergy are invited to a Zoom call with the bishops. The topics of these 30-minute calls and the link to join is sent to clergy in the monthly clergy communique newsletter.

Spring Clergy Conference

Clergy Conference is a time for clergy to gather and reflect together each year at Shrine Mont. Details are published on our web calendar and in the Clergy Communique each spring.

Colleague Groups

Colleague Groups are available for any clergyperson who wishes to participate. Former Fresh Start Facilitators will serve as the facilitators of these groups. Whether you have served in the Church for two or more than twenty years, your participation will strengthen your ministry and serve as a model for others. Colleague Groups are an important aspect of any ministry. If you would like to join a Colleague Group, please email Gloria Parham.

Post-MDiv Mentors

Post-MDiv mentors are available for newly ordained clergy (transitional deacons and priests). If you would like to participate, please reach out to the Rev. Dr. Sarah Kye Price for more information.
