All of CALL's programs are dedicated to providing lifelong learning and continuing education for congregations, their members, and their leaders. Whether on line, in a conference, or in a summer or January class, CALL aims to strengthen the spiritual life, leadership, ministry, and mission of the Church.
CALL programs offer CEU credit. Each CEU represents 10 hours of course contact and study. Please indicate on the registration form if you wish to receive CEUs. Upon completion of required course work and the instructor's recommendation, you will receive a certificate awarding you the designated CEU credits.
CDSP faculty welcomes you to consider attending a course at the seminary. January Intersession courses are designed specifically to bring together seminary students and current church professionals. But clergy and lay leaders are also welcome to audit courses during the Fall and Spring semesters. With the instructor's permission, auditors can attend one course each semester during the academic year.
Tuition: $310 per January intersession course
$450 per Fall or Spring semester course

CDSP's Doctor of Ministry program is a unique academic program offered cooperatively with the Pacific School of Religion and designed for experienced lay and clergy professionals. Guided by their advisors, D.Min. students tailor programs of study to fit their unique interests. The program is designed to be completed in three years (extensions may be granted). One semester in residence, or the part-time equivalent, is required.
