The Niobrara School for Ministry provides quality theological education for locally trained candidates for deacon and priest, and also for all licensed and specialized lay ministries and ministry teams. In addition, NSM offers possibilities for continuing education for clergy and lay leadership.
In the future NSM hopes to become a Diocesan School for Ministry which will include curriculum resources, training, and education for local congregations, and theological education materials for deanery and diocesan events.
At the present time the NSM has several components:
- Niobrara Summer Seminary
- Ministry Weekends (see below)
These events are open to anyone interested in theological education.
