We assist persons who seek to further their understanding of
the Christian faith, deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, and
become better equipped to witness to the congregation and society.
Lay Seminary meets for six weeks each Fall and Spring for two
years. It has three departments: Academic Study; Prayer, and Social
Engagement. Year-One participants complete one basic class in each of
the three departments. Year-Two students complete one advanced course
in each of the departments. All classes meet at Grace United Methodist
Church, 101 Logan Street, Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Limited scholarships
are available.
The Followers of the Common Life in Christ:
This is a
Center-related community that lives according to The Rule For The Common Life.
Are you called to this community and this rule?
Spiritual
Renewal Leaves for Clergy:
God has created us with a need for
Sabbath. God has modeled the Sabbath for
us. God has called us to Sabbath.
Clergy have the responsibility and
privilege of embodying the Gospel, and are called to live-out the faith
by precept and example. Without accepting
the spiritual refreshment that Sabbath provides, the faith becomes
passionless and the witness ineffective.
We offer: [1.]
Individual and group consultations for the planning of spiritual
renewal leaves; and resources and settings which include [a.] academic
study; [b.] artistic expression; [c.] and work as prayer.
Watch for details.
