CEMI Certification Programs
for Parish Leadership
Purpose
To prepare existing and new people for parish leadership through different programs that combine theological background and practical training for:
For Whom
For those who are presently exercising these ministries in parishes who want additional training.
and
For those who wish to be prepared to take on these ministries in the future.
Two-Tiered Approach
Those already in the above ministries can move into the practical training at the same time that they are attending the CEMI Workshops and Courses in Theology. The Certificate will be granted when all the required coursework is completed for the particular area.
Enrollment
Anyone who desires to enroll in any of the Certificate Programs will need to acquire the recommendation of one's pastor before being accepted into the program.
Completion of the CEMI Certification Program is a preparation for, but not entitlement to, a ministry. The pastor alone empowers persons for Christian service in the parish.
