3 Streams is a four-year educational sequence structured around internships, apprenticeships, and two-year residencies. In year one, the internship provides a well-rounded exploration into the various aspects of church leadership. In year two, the apprenticeship focuses on leadership development in a particular ministry area. In years three and four, the residency provides a career pathway for men pursuing ordination to the priesthood within the Anglican church.

Theological education is traditionally focused on the academic pursuit of biblical knowledge for ministry preparation. 3 Streams complements seminary education by focusing on personal and professional development within a ministry context.
-
We understand the desire that learners may have to discuss the practical out-workings of the gospel in the public life of the Christian. Although this is not the sole focus of the 3 Streams curriculum, we would like to create space to discuss the work of the church in the world, including how it pertains to difficult topics and current issues in our cultural context. These topics are explored more in the apprenticeship program through Case Study discussions.

Individuals who have significant previous church experience could potentially start directly into the two-year residency without completing the internship and apprenticeship. To discuss this option, contact us.
