Boundary and Ethics Training sessions are available for 2026 certification.
The PCUSA Constitution in the Book of Order mandates all councils (this includes sessions) to adopt and implement sexual misconduct policies “which shall include requirements for training which includes the topics of sexual misconduct and child sexual abuse prevention . . . at least every 36 months.” (G-3.0106)
The Presbytery of Lake Michigan also mandates sexual misconduct/ boundary training every 36 months for teaching elders, including retired ministers, commissioned ruling elders, ruling elders, and Christian educators who are
active in the ministry of the Presbytery.
If members of your session have not yet completed Boundary Training, please contact Rev. Annamarie Groenenboom, Associate Clerk, or Rev. Dr. Fran Lane-Lawrence, Executive Presbyter/Stated Clerk, for information about how to complete the training.
For questions or assistance with registration, please contact Emily Franson at efranson@lakemichiganpresbytery.org
