The Certificate in Stewardship is a learning opportunity beginning in early 2025. The Dean of Fredericton invites individuals to join a local learning group for 7 or 8 sessions with the goal of exploring Time, Talent, Trust, Treasure, Terrain, Theology, and Thanks as it pertains to the topic of Christian Stewardship. A workbook and teaching videos will help guide the study. For those wishing to obtain the certificate, completion of a written or video assignment is required near the end of the sessions. Others may decide to audit and not submit the final assignment.
Offered through distance education at Atlantic School of Theology, the local learning group is welcome to pace itself with a recommendation of completion by Spring on 2025. AST has this to say about the program:
AST’s Certificate in Stewardship is available to anyone. People who work or volunteer in the charitable sector, non-profits, university, government, education, church, and other fields will benefit, as well as anyone who would simply like to do some learning and personal growth. As long as you have Internet access and a device that allows you to open a document, watch videos, and prepare a short final assignment, you can take this program.
Local Learning Groups may be organized and start at any time, according to the time frame determined by the designated leader.
For each of the seven components, there is a module that includes:
-
- Pre-recorded video teaching materials (one hour per module)
- A list of recommended materials for further learning
- Reflection questions (or discussion questions for group settings)
- A final integrative assignment (written or video)
For more information visit Atlantic School of Theology or specifically the Certificate in Stewardship information page.
Contact the Dean of Fredericton or the Cathedral Office if you would like to discuss participation.
