It's not a curriculum.....
It's a community!!!
The New England Synod School of Lay Ministry is an opportunity for fellowship, spiritual growth and learning together.
The school is organized as a two year commitment of study. One year focuses on a Theological curriculum, including Lutheran Theology, church and ministry, Luther's Large and Small Catechism, Lutheran Heritage, and an introduction to other religions in America. The second year focus is Biblical Studies; How Lutherans Interpret the Bible and a Historical and Literary exploration of the Old and New Testaments.
Each year begins and ends with a retreat. The Fall retreat topic prepares the student for the course of study for that year. The Spring retreat focuses on topics related to how lay people minister in the church.
The time between retreats is spent in geographical study groups viewing "Select" courses related to the curriculum and engaging in reflection on each topic using study guides.
