Students sign up one year at a time for this four-year program. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. Students meet regularly, usually once a week, in seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. The program grants a certificate at the completion of the four years and 18 Continuing Education Units for each year's work.

- Flower Guild
- We take turns doing the arrangements. We purchase flowers at Publix or bring flowers and greens from our yards and prepare the vases on Saturdays. For Easter and Christmas we work together and with the Altar Guild to decorate with the lilies and poinsettias. The flower guild encourages and welcomes everyone interested in joining us in this enjoyable service to our church.
- Knitting Guild
- We knit various projects for outreach and sharing God’s love with others, such prayer shawls and blankets, mariners’ scarves and caps, etc. Our time together is framed in prayer and with ample time for sharing our experiences and our stories. Bring your needles, your yarn, and your heart and join us in this quiet contemplative ministry.
