Online Training Modules With Queen's College

Throughout our diocese we are responding to the shifting realities of being a Church in our time. Through all on the challenges, one thing is clear: Our Laity are responding in many ways to spiritual calls to different ministries in the Church and are expressing a desire for training and resources.

We are pleased to offer a new free online resource for All Lay Ministry in the Diocese of Central Newfoundland

This Lay Ministry Program is a partnership with Queen’s College that provides training for those called to Lay Ministry that uses an online platform. This platform allows students to work at their own pace. 

The program is self-directed, but can include group involvement such as parish, or clergy support. If you use it for Lay Ministry Training, your clergy and the Lay Minister Chaplain will help.  

The program now consists of 5 core modules that focus on baptism, eucharist, bible, prayer, and Anglicanism. 

Additional modules are being developed. 

They will focus on practical skills like worship planning, pastoral visitation, eucharistic ministry, and other lay ministries. 

At present, this course is designed for current Licensed Lay Ministers or Eucharistic Assistants or those laity who might be interested in this ministry or wishing to explore more about their calling. As the course expands, we plan to provide education for other lay ministries, such as pastoral lay visitors, Sunday School and Confirmation teachers, Vestry, Wardens, Treasurers, and others.

We offer a variety of programs aimed at addressing the needs of our community, including education, healthcare, and social services. Learn more about our programs and how you can benefit from them.

Your donation will help us continue our mission and support our community. Every dollar counts and will make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
