The Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership has issued an updated
list of courses for 2015. The Brethren Academy is a partnership of the
Church of the Brethren and Bethany Theological Seminary.
Academy courses are open to students in Training in Ministry (TRIM)
and Education for Shared Ministry (EFSM), pastors (who may earn two
continuing education units), and all interested persons. Students will
be accepted beyond the registration deadlines, however those deadlines
help determine whether enough students have registered to offer a
course. Many courses have required pre-course readings, so students need
to allow enough time to complete those readings. Those registering for
courses should be sure to receive course confirmation before purchasing
books or making travel plans.
To register for a course, contact academy@bethanyseminary.edu or 765-983-1824.
