PARTNERS AND AFFILIATIONS
St. Stephen’s College continues to benefit from, and contribute to, a multitude of partnerships – as one focus in a vast and creative network of schools and centers all engaged in the work of theological education and transformation.
We have been affiliated with the University of Alberta from the earliest days. We teach undergraduate University courses, and participate with St. Joseph’s College in offering a BA Minor in Christian Theology. University Faculty members teach in our programs or serve on our Program Committees, offering guidance, policy advice and mentoring to students.
The Licensed Worship Leader Certificate and the Diploma in Youth and Young Adult Ministry Programs are offered in partnership with Alberta and Northwest Conference of the United Church of Canada.
We have partnerships with pastoral care departments of hospitals/care facilities, retreat houses, counselling centres, spiritual formation programs, social service agencies and other institutes and institutions across the country.
