Episcopal Academy

Welcome to the Episcopal Academy

Welcome to The Episcopal Academy, where we are committed to forming Kingdom leaders through biblical truth, episcopal order, spiritual formation, and excellence in ministry.

FORMATION — Know Who You Are

Develop a clear understanding of your Kingdom identity, spiritual calling, and ministerial office, so you serve from conviction rather than simply carrying a title.

EQUIPPING — Know What You Are Called to Do

Gain the biblical, theological, practical, and administrative knowledge necessary to function effectively in your area of ministry and leadership.

ORDER & REAL RESULTS — Know How to Serve

Demonstrate character, protocol, accountability, governance, and excellence so that your ministry reflects both the authority of your calling and the order of God’s Kingdom.

What is the Episcopal Academy

Faith & Learning at Episcopal Academy

 

The Episcopal Academy

Forming Leaders. Strengthening the Church. Advancing the Kingdom.

The Episcopal Academy is a non‑resident school of theology and episcopal order committed to equipping Bishops, Apostles, Overseers, Adjutants & Armorbearers, Elders, and Deacons for ordained, consecrated, affirmed, and appointed service in the Church. We prepare today’s clerics for tomorrow’s Kingdom work.

Certification Programs Designed for Real Ministry

Our Certification in Episcopal Studies includes:

  • The Bishops Academy
  • The Overseers Academy
  • Apostles & Prophets Academy
  • Elders Academy
  • Deacons Academy
  • Adjutant & Armor Bearers Academy
  • Kingdom Academy
  • School of Theology and Ministry

We recognize that ministry is not one‑size‑fits‑all. Our programs are intentionally flexible and crafted to serve clerics in urban, suburban, rural, and international contexts. Every course is designed to meet students where they are and prepare them for what God has called them to do.

Faculty Who Understand the Call

Our leadership and instructors are active ministry professionals—rooted in Scripture, seasoned by real church experience, and academically trained. They bring theological depth and practical wisdom, offering mentorship that strengthens character, calling, and competence.

A Servant to the Church

As an independent, biblically grounded educational ministry, The Episcopal Academy partners with both local churches and individual clerics. We provide curriculum, consultation, and direction that support each student’s unique path toward effective, Spirit‑led leadership.


Uniting Faith & Education

 The Episcopal Academy offers both on‑campus classroom instruction and fully digital online learning. Students may complete their academic training either in person on our campus or from the comfort of their own homes. Our online  learning  portal provide a state‑of‑the‑art learning environment with real‑time access to instructional videos, PowerPoint presentations, and 0interactive breakout rooms. All Academy programs operate within a secure digital ecosystem protected by Apple Security.
