Join a cohort integrating hearts and minds for fruitful ministry

Equip the next generation with confident, Christ‑centered catechesis. Study with the great teachers of the church while growing in theological clarity and pastoral wisdom. The Diploma in Catechesis is an 18‑credit, master’s‑level program across six courses, and credits may be applied toward the MAR or MDiv. A non‑credit Certificate option enrolls you in the same courses with tiered expectations and pass/fail grading; Certificate courses do not apply to a master’s degree.⁠
