The Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership has released an
updated list of courses for 2012 and into 2013. Courses are open to
Training in Ministry (TRIM) students, pastors (who may earn continuing
education units), and all interested persons.
The academy accepts students beyond the registration deadlines, but
on those dates will determine whether enough students have registered to
be able to offer the class. Many courses have required pre-course
readings, and students need to be sure to allow time to complete those
assignments. Courses noted below as “SVMC” require registration through
the Susquehanna Valley Ministry Center at Elizabethtown (Pa.) College,
contact SVMC@etown.edu or 717-361-1450.
Registration brochures for these and other training opportunities are
available through the Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership
website www.bethanyseminary.edu/academy or by calling 800-287-8822 ext. 1824.
