2026-27 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 from Deacon Fran Wheeler upon initial registration and then yearly in late spring.
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 and course year do not matter. You are welcome to take any open classes, face to face or on Zoom!
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.
