CLERGY NOTES:

A few words of clarification this month on CEU exemptions…

Essentially. If you are appointed and actively serving a church, you are expected to earn 3.0 CEUs per year. However, the following categories provide an exemption from that requirement.:

1. If you are a local pastor in the course of study program AND you have taken a COS course during the appointment year, you are exempt for that year. If you did not take any courses, you are not exempt from CEUs.

2. If you are a provisional member, you are exempt during your years of provisional status.

3. If you are retired, you are exempt UNLESS you are serving a church. Lifelong learning is considered an important element in your ministry.,
