Presbytery of East Tennessee School of the Laity

Spring 2014

Interested in learning more about your faith?  Curious about Reformed Theology or our Presbyterian heritage?   Thinking about accepting a leadership opportunity?  Then we have an innovative program just for you.

Since the fall of 2010, our presbytery has offered a School of the Laity.  Each class is held on two Saturdays, with optional reading to be done before each session.  The cost for each class is $65, which includes lunch both days.

Please note that the School of the Laity is available to all laypeople, not just to ordained elders.  Unlike the Commissioned Ruling Elder classes, these classes have no required homework or long-term commitment.  Each course (of two days) stands alone, so they can be taken in any order.

Spring 2014 Class

This spring, the PET School of the Laity is offering Overview of the Old Testament, taught by Maryville College professors Peggy Cowan and Phil Sherman.  It will meet on the campus of Maryville College on March 29 and April 5, from 9:30am to 3:30pm, with lunch at the cafeteria provided.  Suggested readings will be posted on the School of the Laity page of the PET website (under News & Events). The cost for this course is $65, and registration is due by March 20.  We are a group of very enthusiastic learners who would love to have you join us.
