Our education team, Equip, focuses on engaging, encouraging and empowering all the people of God in their call and ministry.
Our education ministry, the Commission for Education for Discipleship and Leadership (CEDAL) provides education and training for all parts of Christian ministry within the Uniting Church Western Australia.
CEDAL is responsible for providing education to members to enable them to grow in faith, discipleship and leadership; oversight of theological education for the specified ministries of the Uniting Church (Lay Preacher, Pastor, Deacon and Minister of the Word) according to guidelines set by the Assembly.
Our overall aim is “to build an informed and integrated learning community directed to the mission of God”.
We offer theology courses with us and accredited study options for:
- people wishing to grow in faith and expand their discipleship
- leaders in local congregations who are called on to lead worship, preach, and share their faith
- people who feel a call to leadership in a specific form of ministry
- anyone wanting to undertake a formalised pathway of the study of theology
- Ministers who are actively seeking to develop their skills in ministry.
