The Churches of Christ in Christian Union are proudly committed to equipping ministers with the skills needed to minister effectively. Ministers have a variety of options available to increase and improve thier ministry skill set via educational the School of Ministry, continuing education opportunities, and degrees through Ohio Christian University.

Each minister attending their ministerial conventions shall receive credit for one (1) unit. The other unit(s) may be any approved workshop, seminar, or conference of the minister's choosing, whether attended in person or online, which is at least four (4) hours long and directly related to an area of ministry. Ministers must report completion of the continuing education requirement on the annual Ministers Activity Report.
