Forming Faithful Shepherds for a Broken World

Our Mission

Rooted in Tradition, Moving in the Spirit

We train and equip priests and deacons for faithful ministry within the Charismatic Episcopal Church of North America by forming leaders rooted in Scripture, sacrament, Spirit-empowered life, and pastoral mission.

FORMATION FOR REAL LIFE

Ministry in the Middle of Life

Saint Michael’s Seminary is structured to serve men who are faithfully living out their calling in the midst of real responsibilities.

Our formation model allows students to pursue seminary training while continuing to:

The Charismatic Episcopal Church of North America affirms the vocation of marriage and family life for clergy and does not require celibacy for its priests. We believe strong clergy households strengthen the Church.
