All clergy in full-time appointments (deacons, elders, associate members, and full-time local pastors who have completed their educational requirements) are required to earn an average of two (2) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) each calendar year or a minimum of eight (8) over the course of a quadrennium (Methodist for “four-year period”).

Part-time local pastors who have completed their educational requirements are expected to earn one (1) CEU per year or four (4) per quadrennium.

Clergy enrolled in college, seminary, or graduate school are not required to earn additional credit while they are students.

For more information on how CEU's are earned and reported, and what you need to do to be sure the Center for Ministry has your CEU's on file, download the file "CEU requirements for United Methodist Clergy" below.
