The Diakonia Program, in connection with the Grand Canyon Synod, has recently developed an Advanced Classes Task Force. This task force is devoted to creating and offering high quality training for lay persons, beyond the regular two-year Diakonia Program.

“I want to learn more about my faith.” We've heard this phrase a lot, so we invite all to stay tuned for more details about a special offering from Diakonia, intended to do just that - give you more information about your faith. The toolbox will be open to everyone in the Grand Canyon Synod. Stay tuned!

GCS Diakonia believes that through the proper formation and with the right education, lay ministry is an invaluable asset to your congregation, and the church as a whole. If you are interested in finding out how your involvement in Diakonia can help your church do God's work with our hands, check out our website for more information: diakoniaaz.org.

Martin Luther himself said, "A simple layman armed with Scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it." At Diakonia, we agree, and support GCS pastors and congregations by educating individuals on the more nuanced aspects of lay ministry.

If you or someone you know is looking for a rich, theological education, a deepened appreciation of the Bible, and clarity in forms of grace-filled service, check out this two-year program. Classes start in September, visit diakoniaaz.org for more info.
