St. Arseny Institute offers a variety of programs for Orthodox Theological Studies.
1. The Diaconal Program prepares men for ordination to the Diaconate, and leads to a Certificate in Diaconal Studies;
2. the Reader's Program trains men and women to do the reader's parts in the worship services of the Church and leads to a
Reader's Certificate;
3. the lay program is designed to increase the theological understanding among laity, and if completed, leads to a Certificate in
Theology.
All three programs of studies may be taken by correspondence courses, as well as in-class in Winnipeg. In the future, some in-class studies will be provided in other parts of Canada as well.
