School of Sacred Ministries

School of Sacred Ministries Providing Spiritual Training, Personal Growth, and Interfaith Ordination. Founded 1997. Some go on to hospice work. Some take up roles in spiritual organizations.

The School of Sacred Ministries is an independent, trans-denominational school located in Doylestown, PA. As as outreach program of the Pebble Hill Interfaith Church, we offer a 2+ year program of interfaith study that culminates in ordination as Interfaith Clergy for those who feel called. During the program, some of our Saturday sessions will be open to the public; however, space is limited and

advance reservation is required. How our graduates apply ordination in their lives is as varied as the graduates themselves. Still others teach and facilitate workshops. Most, however, simply incorporate the life-changing experience into their day-to-day routines, never calling attention to their ordination, but instead serving the world one person at a time in their places of work, in their homes, and in the chance encounters that come their way. Our previous class completed their studies and were ordained in June 2020. We have not yet scheduled our next program. Watch our event listings or contact us for more info: [email protected]

"Paganism is growing in Britain. Stonehenge at the solstice shows why"

Paganism is growing in Britain. Stonehenge at the solstice shows why: Many misunderstand the faith, but it offers hope for the planet and connects us to millennia of history
