Each traditional and focus group has set its own beginning date and time. You may join any district or focus group. To receive CEU credit you must complete focus groups sessions or participate in a traditional group for the year. Minister’s Continuing Education Funds from their local church may be used to cover the cost for attending any CEC group. The SC Conference Board on Ordained Ministry provides this Continuing Education experience for all ordained and licensed ministers in the SC Annual Conference. This is not a requirement but an opportunity.
