School of Ministry
The School of Ministry offers a low-impact educational experience that primarily focuses on ministry development, spiritual formation, and an introductory exploration of the calling of God in a person’s life, either as laity or as clergy.
School of Ministry Retreat Fall 2025

If you would like a single room, it will be an additional $60.
We hope you will join us and special guest Dr. Kevin Watson as he leads our section on Methodism this fall.
