All clergy and lay leaders (of covenanted Communities, Ministries and Orders) are expected to engage in lifelong formation to strengthen their ministries.  Lifelong Formation should be focused on vocational development, workshops, courses, or intentional studies in areas that ungird present or future ministry.   In addition to other courses of study, all of our members are required to undergo Boundaries (every 6 years) and Abuse Prevention and Response (every 2 years) Training to maintain active membership in our Communion.  Full details of the requirements can be found in our Member Handbook.  The following course are officially endorsed, although members may use another source - with permission from their bishop.
