The Provincial School for Congregational Development is a two-year program offering training in congregational and organization development.
Supporting congregational teams of lay and clergy leaders, the Provincial School helps equip congregational leaders with needed knowledge, practices, skills, and tools to become healthier, more faithful, and more resilient in their ministry.
As a collaborative initiative of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC & Yukon, the School facilitates relationship-building amongst leaders throughout the Province.
New teams are admitted every autumn, as teams can begin in either Year A or Year B, and then continue to the next. An overview of each year is provided below.
First proposed at the Provincial Summit in November 2023, the Province piloted the first year of this two-year program with over 30 participants, with more joining the following years.
The School's curriculum has been adapted for the Canadian context from material used in the Episcopal Church's College for Congregational Development.
