How to Earn CECs through Reading

With the abundance of good Christian books available, it would be impossible for TN State Office to create an adequate book list for our ministry to earn CECs. Therefore, we are entrusting our ministers with the responsibility to choose worthy books that will enhance their ministries.
After reading a Christian non-fiction book of your choosing and submitting the Continuing Education Credit Book Form below, you will receive 2-3 CECs per book. You may download this fillable pdf and submit it by email or you may print it, complete and mail to:
