STM Training Conferences
Description
The SOE approves certain national short-term mission conferences to fulfill our training requirements (sponsored by different hosting groups). Some approved conferences will provide STM electives as one part of their overall conference theme, others are entirely devoted to training in STM. Some of these conferences will also host the required Standards Introductory Workshop (SIW) as a pre- or post-conference event.
Frequency
We ask that you send at least one of your key staff (preferably most) to an SOE-approved training conference at least once every three years for continuing education and to maintain good standing.
Trainers
Experienced STM speakers with diverse backgrounds from churches, agencies, schools, and other organizations provide the training, according to the design of the given host conference.
Cost
Each host conference determines its own registration fees, room, board and other costs. Some conferences provide early registration discounts. Click on the links below for more information.
