Continuing Ministry Development

The Methodist Church in Ireland is committed to encouraging all people to grow in their discipleship and further develop their ministry skills.

The CMD programme, a collaboration between Edgehill and IMYC, is open to ordained ministers, probationers, and to lay workers employed in any capacity in the life of the Church.

Attendance at CMD seminars may be used to count towards the 20 hours (pro rata) of courses/training/professional development which ordained ministers and lay workers are required to undertake during each Connexional year.

All seminars are held at Edgehill College, Belfast from 10 am - 4 pm. Morning coffee and lunch will be provided. Please advise of any special dietary requirements when registering. A nominal charge of £5 will be requested on the day to cover catering costs.

To facilitate catering arrangements, you are asked to register for seminars in advance.

To register, please contact Kay Irvine, Edgehill College, | tel 028 9066 5870| email [email protected]
