The certification of educators, youth workers, musicians and evangelists by The United Methodist Church resulted from a desire for 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.
Certification is open to lay persons, deacons, diaconal ministers and elders.
