ICS provides live and online education developed to help individuals discerning their call to ministry and those seeking general courses for personal and group spiritual formation.
Practicing self care in ministry is critical for the Kingdom work God has called us to. Jesus speaks clearly on this matter: Love your neighbor as you Love yourself. Part of loving ourselves is to be a good steward of our body, mind and spirit.
Students will examine the different orders of ministry as defined in the Book of Common Prayer. They will explore their call to the diaconate.
This class will focus on reviewing the content taught and the practical application of the content for the students. In addition, summer assignments will be explained and assigned.
Diaconal formation is a course of study within the Institute for Christian Studies that offers a full curriculum for those discerning a call to ordination in the order of deacons.
