NEW YORK SCHOOL OF MINISTRY
The Rev. Dr. Marjorie Purnine, Dean
The New York School of Ministry (NYSOM) educates and equips women and men for a variety of ministries in local churches – Christian education, pastoral care, church music and pastoral leadership. NYSOM offers four certificate programs, designed to provide personal enrichment and training for all aspects of congregational leadership. We serve individuals discerning a call to ministry, by offering classes and a community of peers, spiritual discernment in continuing conversations with a mentor, supervised ministry, and bi-annual retreats. We serve local churches across the state by training lay leaders and those who will seek authorization from their associations to be licensed ministers, commissioned ministers, and ordained ministers.
