Diakonia is a spiritual formation and theological education program for adults.  Created by former Bishop Bouman in the Metro NY Synod, this program has been serving the New York region for 30+ years, helping lay members of churches grow in their faith, sharpen their skills for service and deepen one's sense of purpose/connection with God and the church.

The program is a weekly in-depth evening spiritual formation (two year course of study).

If you have questions, Deacon Lulu and Pastor Chris would be pleased to talk with you.
