Welcome to the Lancaster Theological Seminary Continuing Education web site! At Lancaster Theological Seminary, we believe that theological education is a holy adventure in which we are called to grow in wisdom and stature as persons and members of faith communities. Our programs are holistic in nature. Through seminars, ministerial spirituality groups, adult studies, workshops, lectures, and our Summer Academies, we seek to address body, mind, and spirit as essential aspects of theological education and personal growth.
Lancaster Theological Seminary’s Office of Continuing Education provides theological education and spiritual formation programs for pastors, lay persons, and congregations.
Programs for Pastors include Wholeness in Ministry, aimed at providing spiritual formation and continuing professional education for recently-ordained pastors serving in their first congregational call; Renewing Ministry, aimed at supporting faithful excellence among experienced pastors; and Harvesting Wisdom, aimed at nurturing pastors over 60 years old, who are seeking to “finish strong” in their current ministries and explore possibilities following retirement from full-time ministry.
Programs for Congregations and Laypersons include the Adult Study Series, which provides quality Christian education programs for congregations on themes such as “Jesus for the 21st Century,” “The Parables of Jesus,” “The Problem of Evil,” “The Healings of Jesus,” “Job,” “Philippians,” “Sinners: Jesus and His Earliest Followers,” and “The Psalms.”
Summer Academy - A Holy Adventure: two week-long programs each summer promoting lay theological education and continuing education for pastors. The Summer Academy holistically integrates worship, the arts, music, spiritual formation, and academic classes.
Lectures and Workshops on innovative themes in theology, the arts, worship, world Christianity, and stewardship, including annual LGBT and African American Heritage Celebration Lectures.
Whether you are a seeker, pastor, church member, or someone with more questions than answers, we hope you will find insight and inspiration for your holy adventure.
Along with Leadership Now: Spiritual Formation for Youth, the Office of Continuing Education seeks to provide theological education for every generation.
