Salem Presbytery Boundaries Training
Per Salem Presbytery Policy, all Ministers of Word and Sacrament serving in congregations or validated ministries, CREs serving in congregations, and Christian Educators serving in congregations are required to receive boundary training every three years. Failure to complete boundaries training may result in loss of insurance for the church. As of the February 15, 2022 Stated Meeting of Salem Presbytery, the presbytery has changed the process for boundary training. The presbytery now utilizes an online option through CongregationU. The module required is the “Clergy Ethics and Congregational Boundaries” course, which will take approximately two hours to complete and can be completed at your own pace and convenience. The cost of the training is $29.00 and will need to be completed by August 31, 2025. Upon completion, please email your certificate to Christine Ratledge.
