During Fall and Winter semester at Dio, we offer a range of open enrolment courses that equip students for life in a changing church. These courses are aimed at anyone who is interested in deepening their Christian faith and knowledge, and cultivating leadership skills in the church. There is no homework or written assignments. All you need is a desire to learn and a willingness to participate.
Ongoing education and learning is essential for the vitality of the church and its ministry. These courses are for a range of different audiences and cover a wide array of topics. Whatever your background in the church and however you serve in ministry, we hope that you will find in these offerings something that will help you grow as a follower of Jesus Christ.
Nous offrons aussi les cours en français en plus de nos cours en anglais. Les personnes qui parlent couramment français et qui ont minimalement l’équivalent d’un diplôme collégial peuvent s’inscrire aux cours en français.
