The New York School of Ministry offers courses for lay people preparing for some form of church leadership.
People don't need to be enrolled in NYSOM to take advantage of our courses.
Courses are open also to auditors (students who don't get credit but don't have to take the tests or write the papers) for $100.
Please publicize our spring Old Testament course -- there may be folks in your congregation looking for
this kind of religious education.
