Location
The Rural Ministry Program offers courses and events
in Kingston and in various other locations in Ontario and northern
New York.
History And Ethos
Queen's Theological College is located in a predominantly
rural region. Over ninety-eight percent of its Master of Divinity
graduates serve rural congregations when they leave the College. As
a result, the College has long offered courses in Rural Ministry and,
in 1996, held its first Rural Ministry Symposium. Because Rural Ministry
is an inportant focus for the College, it established a multi-denomonational
Advisory Committee to guide the program.
Today's rural communities, rural congregations, and
rural leaders in both Canada and the United States face unprecedented
crises and challenges. Queen's Theological College wants to help address
a situation calling for co-operation among rural organizations and
rural leaders.
