Education for Ministry is a four-year distance learning program which provides a basic theological education, including the old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy and theology.
To create a more interactive learning environment, the diocese sponsors seminar groups of six to twelve participants and a trained mentor who meet weekly during the nine-month academic year. Students who complete the program successfully receive a certificate and 18 continuing education credits for each of the four completed years.
Students sign up for this program one year at a time; the program is run by the School of Theology of the University of the South.
