2019-20 Course Schedule

Courses denoted with a (P) are for students on the presbyteral studies track, (D) for students on the diaconal studies track. Students on a full-time ordained ministry track do not need to register for classes; you will be automatically enrolled and receive your course schedule at  New Student Orientation.   If you are enrolled in a lay certificate track or for the PMA program, we encourage you to register for all classes at the same time.

If you would like to take a class  for personal enrichment or continuing education, the (P) or (D) designation does not matter.  You are welcome to take any open classes!
