Diocesan School For Christian Studies

The Diocesan School for Christian Studies was founded to reflect the Episcopal Church's focus on 'mutual ministry' as the responsibility of all Christians under the one Baptism each of us shares in Christ.  In Baptism, we are commissioned to 'represent Christ and His Church' in all that we do.

The Diocesan School offers a wide variety of educational programs and training for service in the church and society, including the academic preparation for persons aspiring to the diaconate. Resources are provided for grounding persons in the Bible, Church History, Theology, Liturgy, Spirituality, Human Awareness and Understanding, Pastoral Care and other disciplines to prepare for ministry.

The Diocesan School for Christian Studies offers a variety of courses to enhance the total ministry of the Church.  All courses are open to lay and ordained persons, including those in discernment or process for Holy Orders.  The School year consists of a Fall and a Spring semester with eight Saturdays in each semester.

Online registration for the fall semester of the Diocesan School for Christian Studies is now available.  Click here for registration and a link to the new 20010-2011 catalogue.
