"The Episcopal School for Ministry is an intentional community of faith that exists for deepening our discipleship of Christ and for forming makers of disciples."

- Rev. Canon Ralph McMichael, PhD, Dean

Welcome to the Episcopal School for Ministry of the Diocese of Missouri.

 

Making Disciples of Jesus For the Ministry of the Church

The Episcopal School for Ministry is a community of faith forming disciples of Jesus for all the ministries of the baptized. Through a variety of programs, workshops, and conferences, there are a myriad of opportunities for a deeper exploration of the Christian faith and life and for the discernment and equipping of one’s place in the mission of the Church for the life of the world. This is a school in the ancient Christian sense: a place, a gathering of the faithful, where Christ continues to teach his disciples. The School provides ways for the baptized to learn whom they follow, how to follow, and their ministries as followers.
