The New England Synod School of Lay Ministry is an opportunity for fellowship, spiritual growth and learning together. The school is organized as a two year commitment of study. One year focuses on a Theological curriculum. The second year focus is Biblical Studies: Old and New Testaments. Each year begins and ends with a retreat. The time between retreats is spent in geographical study groups viewing "Select" courses related to the curriculum and engaging in reflection on each topic.
