Join us for classes in 2022-23
We begin our 10th anniversary year this fall, and we would love to have you join us as a BSKM student, whether you are on an ordination track, lay leadership track, or you simply wish to take classes for personal enrichment.
In addition to instruction time, the BKSM community worships, prays, eats and socializes together throughout the focus weekend. Beyond the focus weekend, students on a ordination track will meet on Zoom twice a month. First, students will gather together for praxis from 7:00-8:30pm on the Tuesday following our face-to-face focus weekends. During praxis sessions, we hear from guest speakers who focus on an aspect of ministry or a current issue not directly addresses in our programs of study. Second, students will meet with their cohort on Zoom for colloquium once a month, usually on the second Tuesday following the focus weekend. The 2022-23 academic calendar is available here. |

What is the Bishop Kemper School for Ministry?
The Bishop Kemper School for Ministry (BKSM), located in Topeka, Kansas, is a unique collaborative venture of the Episcopal Dioceses of Kansas, Nebraska, West Missouri and Western Kansas.
BKSM was founded in 2013 in order to pool financial and human resources to best support leadership formation within the four dioceses and to strengthen bonds of community and mutual mission.
The Bishop Kemper School for Ministry uniquely forms priests, deacons, and lay ministers together, fostering shared team ministry that honors and values the gifts and callings of all.
