Diakonia is a program of theology intended to deepen, straighten and stretch lay people.

With this two year program, students learn from ordained pastors in a cohort setting. Courses include New Testament, Old Testament, Doctrine, Worship, Ethics, Church History, and Practical Ministry like Visitation and Preaching.

A new cohort begins this September in the Phoenix area. If you would like to know more about Diakonia, how it has benefited recent graduates and the expectations for students, please attend an informational night on Monday, August 19, hosted at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church (1212 E Glendale Ave) at 7:00 pm.
