official citizenry school
ChIME’s mission is to educate and ordain interfaith leaders who serve with integrity, spiritual presence, and prophetic voice.
weekly classes
Each student is a member of a class cohort that meets once each week - either face-to-face or virtually - beginning in September and ending in June.
monthly workshops
One weekend per month, the blended and in-person cohorts gather for 2 days of immersive workshops. Students may attend in-person workshops or engage asynchronous workshops online. Workshops create an opportunity for students to interact across cohorts as they delve deeply into learning and sharing in a topic that is relevant to all students, regardless of where they are in their ChIME progression.
retreats & Service
Twice a year, students gather for retreat rather than the monthly workshop. The Interfaith Ministry Program also requires 150 hours of volunteer service each year.
