CERG Webinars

Are you interested in taking a webinar but aren't sure what is involved? Don't know if you have everything you need? This video will walk you through everything you need to know about taking a webinar from a CERG presenter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8IDn7LsrHo

To take advantage of new technologies and to help folks get the training they need without traveling a great distance, the Ohio-Meadville District, the Joseph Priestley District, Metro NY District and Saint Lawnrence District (who make up the CERG cooperative group) are now offering several webinars each month. Each Webinar title, date and sponsoring group is listed below. If you are not sure who to contact, please contact the district office at office at ohiomeadville.org.

If you are looking for a training not listed here, please click the link for the district you want to check. These links go to the calendar or conference pages for the districts.

Please be aware that in order to participate in any of these webinars we recommend that you have DSL, Cable or other high speed internet access as dial up service can cause delays in receiving information and hearing the presentation. In most cases you will also need to be able to call in to a phone number during the presentation. The long distance charges for this call are your responsibility.

We do recommend for many of these events that congregations or individuals who have the technology offer to display the webinar via a large screen tv or lcd projector so that several people can participate from the same location, reducing the number of log-ins and allowing more people to participate. Most events are limited to 20-25 log-ins, however, if groups participate together, more than 20-25 people can participate. If your congregation, committee or group is planning to participate as a group from one log-in site, please only register once and note this on your registration form.

Click on the title of the webinar to read a description of the event and get registration information. Titles that are not clickable have not yet been set up with registration pages.
