Workbook for Students Year-Long Study and Text Year-Long Study
Ministerial Study Program information here.
Feel free to read one of our students essays after 2 years of attending our program.
Our Current Text and Workbook Studies have already begun for 2011.
Join us for our next classes in September of 2012.
The MiraclesOne Ministerial Program will accept new students for the start of the next series in September 2012. Our program is a 3 year program that includes study of the Text, Workbook for Students, Manual for Teachers & Supplements with the final year comprised of Non-Violent Communication and other skills so that you may minister and be truly helpful to others.
Our program is designed to set aside everything that you have learned before, whomever you have studied with previously or how long you have studied ACIM.
It is for those who want to go deeply into their personal study with their Inner Teacher, who want to share with others honestly and intimately with no masks in place,
who want to move beyond pontification and analyzing of ACIM and into living its principles, and those who want to truly be of service to the Sonship.
To become accepted as a ministerial student, there is a prerequisite class that you will need to complete. These programs will be listed soon. They will begin in January of 2012 and run for 12 weeks.
You can start by simply joining our Tuesday drop-in phone study to get a feel for MiraclesOne's philosophy of Practical Application of ACIM.
Before registering for the Workbook for Students or Text Classes or enrolling in our Ministerial Program, there is a prerequiste 12 week class you will have to complete.
These classes will be available starting January 2012.
Please contact us for more details.

"After over 40 years of seeking among dozens of spiritual practices, I finally found the right path for me, 'A Course in Miracles'. This has profoundly changed the very nature of my being. Then, after seeking for like-minded others to support and strengthen this path, I was blessed to find "Miracles One" with Reverends Deb and Paul Phelps. After careful reflection and meditation of their own influences and education, they developed the "Light University" based on best practices in the field along with their own guided contributions. With kindness, honesty, and humor they've committed themselves to sharing the wisdom of the Course. The combination of the 'Course' with their guidance is actually leading to a career change for me toward this ministry. I'll be forever grateful to the 'Course' and to Deb and Paul for their love and support."
