| The certification of educators, youth workers, musicians, evangelists, camp/retreat and spiritual formation by The United Methodist Church resulted from a desire of persons in these fields to serve the church with excellence.
Certification is the church’s recognition that an individual has met the required standards for academic training, experience, and continuing study necessary to achieve and maintain professional excellence. The church’s need for individuals who can serve to the best of their ability makes certification by The United Methodist Church increasingly important.
