Club Ministry Training
Introduction
Club Ministries Training (CMT) is a curriculum framework that provides in-depth training for club staff in specific roles.
The certifications are designed to be completed within one year, and are meant to equip leaders of all varieties for the ministries in which they serve.
They are opportunities for individuals to learn more about being an effective Director, Counselor, Instructor, Secretary.
Certifications are earned by attending workshops, working with a mentor, doing fieldwork, and preparing a documentation Portfolio.
CMT certifications are intended for all members of a team. Each NEW club staff member is required to attend the training. To come up to speed with the training standards, current staff are highly recommended to also attend, unless a compulsory expectation is made known by your Area Coordinator.
It is highly recommended that each registrant attend a refresher course every 3 years, especially in cases of inactivity in the ministry.
The following courses have been developed and designed for you:
Training for a particular course is an 8-hour module, which will be held over 2 Sundays of 4 hours each.
For Overviews of the Workshops and Modules go to secpathfinders/cmt.
The registration for 2026 will be open from the 09th of January 2026. (Closing on the 8th of February 2026)
There will be a contribution to cover the residential training of £145.00.
