Completing this course fulfills the Presbytery of Lake Michigan Sexual Misconduct Policy mandate that all teaching elders active in ministry within the bounds of the presbytery complete boundaries and ethics training. The mandate applies to all teaching elders who are actively serving in congregations or in validated ministry, including members-at-large, honorably retired members, Commissioned Ruling Elders (CREs) and Christian Educators (CCEs). Participants must attend both sessions to receive credit for completing the program and must submit a copy of their course completion certificate to office@lakemichiganpresbytery.org for the presbytery files.
