I want to tell you about The High Desert School for Ministry.
The High Desert School for Ministry is our new local formation program for people on ordination track to become priest or deacons.
Some background: In recent years, people in local formation for priesthood or the diaconate attended the Utah Ministry Formation Program in Salt Lake City, under the tutelage of the wonderful Mary June Nestler.
Mary June retired this past Spring, and UMFP no longer exists.
What to do?
Fortunately, we didn’t have to look too hard.
High Desert School for Ministry, part of The Iona Collaborative, offers a three-year local formation program for Deacons and Priests in Eastern Oregon and Idaho. The school focuses on educational excellence, visionary leadership, collaboration, and community building to equip visionary leaders for the Church. The curriculum includes Biblical Studies, Church History, Homiletics, and more. Students are immersed in worship, prayer, and practical application of theological teachings, fostering joyful transformation for church leaders.
