Welcome to the Kansas School of Ministry web site.

The Kansas School of Ministry is a two-year school established by the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas to educate and train those in the diocese who are seeking ways in which to exercise their Christian ministries within their parishes, the diocese and the world.

Those called to Lay Ministries as well as those called to Ordained Ministries are welcome.

While many attend the school in order to become ordained as deacons within the church, others are committed lay persons and those completing the requirements for ordination to the priesthood under local provisions for ordination in the Episcopal Church.
