NIS Diakonia Program
Open Registration - Dive In at Any Time!
The diakonia™ Program is a two-year process of lay spiritual formation
consisting of 12 courses, 6 per academic year. Each course is 5 sessions in
length and meets weekly on Zoom for a 3 hour class. Assignments and reading
relate directly to your life and ministry (within family, parish,
neighborhood, and vocation), giving you a solid background of the topic. You
work at your own level, and assignments reflect the understanding that
students are already busy in their families, jobs, and parish. Typically,
students average approximately 2 to 5 hours of studies per week in addition
to class time. The goal of the diakonia program is to help you discover your
God-given gifts, strengthen your faith and discern your purpose within your
congregations, synods, and the church-wide body of Christ. Through the
diakonia experience, you’ll gain a better under-standing of theology and
your relationship to God, helping you bear fruit as a light of Christ in
your community and beyond. New courses begin every 5 weeks, and you can jump
in at any time. Not sure, come to a few classes and see if diakonia is for
you. For more information on the diakonia program, visit
www.nisynod.org/diakonia or discuss it with your pastor.
