SUMMARY:UCC Education: Introduction to 3-Way Covenants
DESCRIPTION:This training offered by the national setting of the UCC. \nMinisters who serve local churches are likely to be familiar with the use of a call agreement to negotiate salary\, benefits\, and time away. A separate document\, the 3-Way Covenant\, is not as widely known\, but can be very useful for further outlining the expectations that the Minister\, Local Church\, and Association or Conference may have for one another. Rev. Jeff Nelson will give a basic overview of a 3-Way Covenant\, as well as how it may benefit the relationship between these three entities. \nRegister by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Diversity/Anti-Racism Training - “Grace\, Difference\, Truth\, and Beloved Community: A Formation Framework for Intercultural Discipleship”
DESCRIPTION:3 hours of Diversity/Anti-Racism training for authorized ministers \nWhat if the challenges facing our churches\, communities\, and society are not primarily problems of information\, but problems of formation? \nMany approaches to diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, anti-racism\, and intercultural ministry begin with information: history\, systems\, statistics\, privilege\, bias\, and social analysis. Such knowledge matters. But information alone rarely transforms human beings. Before we can engage difference with honesty\, humility\, courage\, and compassion\, we must first develop the spiritual\, emotional\, and relational capacities required to encounter realities beyond our own experience. \nDrawing from Scripture\, Christian spiritual practice\, reflection\, conversation\, and communal learning\, this series explores how God’s grace enlarges the human heart and prepares us for the deeper work of discipleship in a diverse and changing world. The focus is not simply on what we believe\, but on who we are becoming. \nThe series follows a simple but powerful progression:\nGrace creates capacity.\nCapacity engages difference.\nDifference reveals truth.\nTruth makes beloved community possible. \nRegister here: https://keystoneconference.regfox.com/grace-difference-truth-and-beloved-community-a-formation-framework-for-intercultural-discipleship-

SUMMARY:UCC Education: PPRC To PSC
DESCRIPTION:This training offered by the national setting of the UCC for Local Church Pastors & Lay Leaders. \nNot your Predecessors PPRC! Pastor/Parish Relations Committees have provided essential leadership in the life of a congregation. And the name has led to some confusion about the focus of their role. Come to this workshop as we explore what it means to become a Pastoral Support Committee – what it is and what it is not. We’ll be talking through and naming the priorities and commitments of a well-functioning PSC. Rev. Tara Barber will share best practices from around the church and be prepared to answer your questions. Open to pastors\, lay leaders\, and judicatory staff. \nRegister by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Men's Keystone Clergy Retreat - "Men and Forgiveness"
DESCRIPTION:The gospel of Jesus Christ lays claim to our lives like nothing else. Throughout his ministry\, Jesus recognizes people\, honors people\, unburdens people\, and frees God’s children from every form of bondage\, confronting injustice with love and death with life.  Jesus re-members our life stories in ways that redefine each person’s sense of identity and purpose.  He identifies and calls forth new strengths and capacities from within us. The forgiveness of God in Jesus Christ invites us to share his life deeply and be infused with a power much greater than all the might and blustering control proclaimed in these times of ours.  We learn his way by heart and are blessed to carry it into the world. Join us on this retreat\, where we will crack open remarkable gospel narratives\, meeting them with the authenticity of our own stories and the fullness of ourselves! \n10 hours of CE credit will be awarded for full participation. \nLearn more and register here.

Dr. Bruce Epperly’s new book\, “The Jubilee Years”\, along with case studies\, will provide the content of this training.

SUMMARY:UCC Education: Boundary Training for Ministers in Specialized Settings
DESCRIPTION:This training\, hosted by Revs. Tara Barber and Anissa Glaser-Bacon\, is open to ministers serving in specialized settings throughout the United Church of Christ.

This training will focus on matters that relate specifically to issues that these ministers face\, providing opportunities for clergy to reflect on best practices and growth in their practice of ministry.*Note – This training completes individual requirements for boundary training ONLY WHEN authorized by a local Committee on Ministry.\ \nRegister here: Meeting Registration – Zoom
