2023 Bishop's Book of Dreams

West Coast Collaborative Episcopal School for Ministry


By Michelle Karimi

Friday, January 19, 2024

Campaign Funding Goal: $2,000


The West Coast Collaborative Episcopal School for Ministry is a new, combined ministry of the Dioceses of Northern California, El Camino Real, and San Diego. It provides innovative lay and diaconal formation programs based in the curriculum of the Iona Collaborative. The School currently offers formation for lay preachers and those being prepared for ordination to the Vocational Diaconate. Both programs have been well received. Over time, the WCC will continue to expand its offerings in support of lay and ordained ministries.


It is the mission of the School to prepare students for ministry to the people of God. They are currently working with over 15 students for licensure as lay preachers and 6 students in formation for the Vocational Diaconate. Students are preparing to make a difference in their local parishes and communities.

How will funds raised from the appeal help?


Appeal funds will serve to support the School for Ministry including helping provide financial support to students from the Diocese of Northern California being formed for lay ministry. The funds will be used to support the School for Ministry to assist in lowering the cost to students. A portion of the funds will be available to provide lay students with partial scholarships to help with program costs such as tuition and books.


We hope you will make a gift to the programs/ministries from the 2023 Book of Dreams in honor of someone's birthday, memory, anniversary, or a special holiday, and join us in giving thanks to the Giver of all good news, Jesus Christ.
