Generations of joy and memories: Easters, Christmas mornings, weddings, memorials, graduations, quinceaneras, and concerts. The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego is the place where we grow up–where we learn to live into the fullness of Christ, as leaders in courageous love.

Families

You may already pray before meals or at bedtime, regularly reading Bible stories together, or engaging in acts of kindness and service. Jesus was a real person. We know of his life, his death, and his impact. However, a question we need to ask ourselves and talk about with our children is, “Who is he?” To understand the Christian faith, we have to get to know Jesus. In the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, we help your family get to know Jesus Christ and grow in faith. Find a worshiping community near you or an Episcopal School

Education for Ministry and School for Ministry

Education for Ministry (EfM) is an opportunity to take a structured path of education about the Bible–designed for everyone to dive deep into the holy texts with a small group of fellow seekers.  

The School for Ministry (SFM) is a theological training program, led by multiple university-level professors, for anyone interested in learning more about Hebrew Scriptures, Christian Scriptures, church history, liturgics, pastoral care, global Anglicanism, and more. It is open to everyone–especially those that are considering ordained ministry.

Auditing a course is welcomed and encouraged, as is visiting for one class to see how you like it. Learn More about these opportunities
