The Lindisfarne School of Theology and Christian Leadership
The School of Theology and Christian Leadership is patterned after the ancient practice of the “bishop’s” or “abbot’s” schools. In the early medieval period, before general education, universities and seminaries, leaders of Christian communities trained others for ministry to the diaconate and presbyterate/priesthood in a local setting.
We have renewed the vision which allows people to train within their local churches and to receive a high quality, academically demanding and professional instruction in ministry.
Required commitment is high and will be at least ten to fifteen hours each week for study and ministry beside regular work, family and devotional/church commitments.
Training for ordination requires eight 15 week semesters (Sep-Dec, Feb-June); six before ordination and two after ordination. During the eight semesters the School will cover the main elements of Christian theology. The School operates a “rolling program” policy and students may commence at the beginning of any semester.
