2024-2025 Courses
The courses offered at The Institute for Christian Studies are created to help prepare individuals to engage in their call to ministry. The curriculum is designed to provide a foundation for students in the areas of Holy Scripture, Theology, the tradition of the Church, spiritual development, and practical training.
Currently, the curriculum is being reviewed to ensure students are offered courses to prepare them for their Diaconal training. Please check this website for updates as courses are added.
Students in this process are required to attend all classes. If a student cannot attend a class, he/she must notify Archdeacon Julie Altenbach to make arrangements.
