    2010 Quadrennial Sexual Ethics Trainings

    Each quadrennium all pastors and certified lay ministers serving in the NC Annual Conference must attend the updated sexual ethics training, regardless of when they last attended. All persons who are under Episcopal appointment in the NC Conference (including clergy in extension ministry) must attend this training. Not attending may impact a clergy appointment therefore five dates have been provided so each pastor serving can make himself/herself available to attend.

    To register, pastors must contact the host district office for the selected training location (see below). Ideally, pastors would attend on the day/location in the district where he/she serves, but if that is not possible due to a scheduling conflict, the pastor must (a) alert their DS and (b) connect with the host district for the site they plan to attend.

    Each training day will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. – please plan to arrive by 9:30 a.m. in order to settle in prior to the beginning of the training. Lunch will be provided and pastors will be asked to pay a nominal fee to cover the cost of lunch, typically $5.00 or so.

    October 25: Elizabeth City, Greenville, New Bern at St. James UMC Greenville
